Coach Talk

4X Champion
Putting together a lineup that recorded more than 136 points this past week... we did what we had to do and took care of business. We should tip our cap to the GM of Bad JuJu, take this W in stride, and continue pushing forward to a fantasy title.
Bad JuJu
Bad JuJu will find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunity this past week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 18 times in Week 9. Timing and chemistry appear to be issues as that group reeled in only 10 catches.
