Coach Talk

DITKA
Yo, DITKA, you put the rest of the league on notice with this dominant effort. Not only did you win by 32+ points, you also jumped up two spots in the league standings!
Fantasy Champs
Unless Fantasy Champs wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting enough opportunities" isn't really an excuse this week. Our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 33 times in Week 8. Chemistry seems to be a problem, as that group pulled down only 19 balls.
