Coach Talk

TheMuffinStuffers
Way to shrug off that four-game losing skid, TheMuffinStuffers! Each fantasy team is met with adversity somewhere along the way... keep on truckin' and take things one week at a time.
Ligers
Producing zero receptions on only one target this past week, it seems like the starting running backs for Ligers should investigate why their quarterbacks are giving them the cold shoulder.
