Coach Talk

Wardawgs
Heckuva job overcoming that five-game winless streak, Wardawgs! Every fantasy team will surely be met with adversity somewhere along the way... keep at it and remember the 2018 season is far from over.
BODY SNATCHERS
BODY SNATCHERS will find it tough to complain about lack of opportunities this past week. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 31 times in Week 6. With just 19 total receptions, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
