Coach Talk

Arians's Hats
Way to shrug off that two-game losing skid, Arians's Hats! Every fantasy team is sure to be faced with adversity somewhere along the way... keep at it and remember that this season is far from over.
TJKP
"Not getting enough looks" really isn't an excuse this week for TJKP. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) collectively got a hearty 25 targets in Week 3. With only 13 total catches, that group may have some chemistry issues.
