Coach Talk

Scott Hors d'oeuvres
Nice job, Scott Hors d'oeuvres. Bravo on fielding a team that registered more than 150 points this past matchup. We should tip our cap to the GM of Team Rudebrewd, take this win in stride, and continue marching forward to a fantasy championship.
Team Rudebrewd
Well, we certainly can't complain about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? Our five pass-catchers (four WR and one TE) combined to see a grand total of 36 targets in Week 3. Chemistry appears to be an issue, as that group hauled in only 22 receptions.
