Coach Talk

Daniel's Dandy Team
Way to shrug off that five-game winless streak, Daniel's Dandy Team! Every fantasy team is hit with adversity at some point or another... keep at it and good things will continue to happen.
Child Pleeze
Child Pleeze may find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunity this past week. As a group, our four wide receivers combined to see a grand total of 23 targets in Week 6. Chemistry and timing appear to be issues as that group recorded just 14 catches.
