Coach Talk

Blitz for six
Nice job assembling a starting crew that produced more than 146 points this past week. We consider that to be a job well done. We should tip our cap to the GM of Cook a Graham, take this W in stride, and continue our march towards the Its Just a Fantasy World VIII league title.
Cook a Graham
Cook a Graham may find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunity this past week. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) were targeted a hearty 48 times in Week 5. Chemistry appears to be an issue, as that group reeled in only 24 catches.
