Coach Talk

Formidables
Props to you, Formidables. Deploying a team that logged more than 151 points in Week 5. Let's tip our cap to the GM of Sepulcher of Doom, take this victory in stride, and continue marching forward to a fantasy championship.
Sepulcher of Doom
Unless Sepulcher of Doom wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting many opportunities" cannot be a viable excuse this week. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) collectively got a grand total of 22 targets in Week 5. Chemistry and timing seem to be issues as that group managed only 11 catches.
