Coach Talk

Strat-O-Matics
Well done, Strat-O-Matics. Assembling a starting crew that registered almost 127 points this past week. Let's keep this momentum going as we head into a tricky matchup in Week 9.
George A Custer
George A Custer may find it tough to complain about lack of opportunities this past week. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) collectively saw a hearty 33 targets in Week 8. Those players should try to get some extra practice reps in with their QBs, considering they hauled in just 20 catches.
