Coach Talk

VOL NATION
Kudos to you, VOL NATION. Deploying a team that won by over 97 points in Week 5. Let's tip our cap to the GM of Whatsgoingon?, take this victory in stride, and continue pushing forward to a fantasy championship.
Whatsgoingon?
Unless Whatsgoingon? wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting many opportunities" is definitely not an excuse this time around. Our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) were targeted a hearty 19 times in Week 5. Timing and chemistry seem to be issues as that group reeled in just 10 balls.
