Coach Talk

SMOKINHIPPYKILLERS
Putting together a lineup that won by a whopping 133.59 points this past week... we consider that to be a job well done. Let's take this win in stride, tip our cap to the GM of Steel Curtain, and continue the march towards a fantasy title.
Steel Curtain
Steel Curtain will find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunity this past week. Our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) combined to see a grand total of 19 targets in Week 5. With only nine total catches, this group may have some chemistry issues.
