Coach Talk

Jerry's Kids
Well done, Jerry's Kids. Good work assembling a starting crew that posted 141.5 points this past week. Let's tip our cap to the GM of Beat-a-son, take this win in stride, and continue our march towards a fantasy championship.
Beat-a-son
Well, we certainly can't whine about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? Our trio of pass-catchers (two WR and one TE) were targeted a respectable 27 times in Week 10. Chemistry could be an issue, as that group pulled down only 14 catches.
