Coach Talk

zzirGrizz
Deploying a starting crew that tallied 166.68 points this past week... we took care of business and did what we had to do. We should take this W in stride, tip our cap to the GM of Running Wild, and continue our march towards the KWFFantasy league championship.
Running Wild
Running Wild may find it tough to complain about lack of opportunity this past week. Our trio of pass-catchers (two WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 18 times in Week 9. Chemistry and timing appear to be issues as that group hauled in only eight receptions.
