Coach Talk

Cleveland Steamers
Heckuva job overcoming that two-game losing skid, Cleveland Steamers! Every fantasy team is met with adversity at some point or another... keep on truckin' and take things one week at a time.
The Playbook of Eli
Well, we can't really complain about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our trio of pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) combined to receive a grand total of 23 targets in Week 4. With just 14 total catches, that group may have some chemistry issues.
