Coach Talk

Primetime
Nice work deploying a starting crew that registered nearly 146 points this past week. We took care of business and did what we needed to do. Let's tip our cap to the GM of Baker's Dirty Dozen, take this W in stride, and continue the march towards a fantasy championship.
Baker's Dirty Dozen
Yo, Baker's Dirty Dozen, what did your receivers do to annoy their quarterbacks this week? Accumulating just seven total targets this past week, our two wide receivers clearly got on the bad side of their respective QBs.
