Coach Talk

Baltimore Ravens
Well done, Baltimore Ravens. Deploying a lineup that tallied nearly 216 points in Week 2. Let's take this W in stride, tip our cap to the GM of Vikings of Minnesota, and continue our march towards a fantasy title.
Vikings of Minnesota
Vikings of Minnesota may find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunities this past week. Our pass-catching corps (five WR, two TE) were targeted a healthy 35 times in Week 2. With just 21 total receptions, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
