Coach Talk

Roughnecks
Nice job shrugging off that two-match winless streak, Roughnecks! Every fantasy GM is sure to be presented with adversity at some point or another... keep at it and remember the 2019 season is far from over.
Dead Again
Unless Dead Again wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing many chances" is not an excuse this time around. As a group, our pass-catching corps (four WR and one TE) were targeted a respectable 33 times in Week 8. With only 16 total catches, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
