Coach Talk

Ucinn's Dominators
Way to shrug off that two-match losing skid, Ucinn's Dominators! Every fantasy GM is sure to be faced with adversity somewhere along the way... keep on truckin' and good things will continue to happen.
Bofa Dez Knuts
Unless Bofa Dez Knuts wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing many looks" doesn't fly as an excuse this time around. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) were targeted a whopping 27 times in Week 9. Those players might need to get some extra reps with the JUGS machine, considering they reeled in just 16 receptions.
