Coach Talk

Dunwoody Bulldogs
Nice work, Dunwoody Bulldogs. Props on deploying a starting crew that netted more than 155 points in Week 6. We should keep this momentum rolling as we move on to our next matchup in Week 7.
absolutereckless
Welp, we certainly can't complain about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) collectively received a whopping 32 targets in Week 6. Those players might need to spend more time with the JUGS machine, considering they hauled in only 18 catches.
