Coach Talk

Norman Nobodies
Way to shrug off that six-game winless skid, Norman Nobodies! Every fantasy team is sure to be faced with adversity somewhere along the way... keep at it and remember the 2019 season is far from over.
Hard Targets
Well, we can't really whine about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? Our five pass-catchers (four WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 32 times in Week 9. Those players might need to get some extra reps with the JUGS machine, considering they pulled down just 18 receptions.
