Coach Talk

Leave It To Beckham
Nice work deploying a lineup that won by 70.63 points this past week. We consider that to be a job well done. Let's take this victory in stride, tip our cap to the GM of big diesel, and continue the march towards a fantasy championship.

Welp, we can't really complain about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (five WR, one TE) collectively got a grand total of 47 targets in Week 4. With just 25 total receptions, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
