Coach Talk

BUD LIGHT
Way to shrug off that four-game winless skid, BUD LIGHT! Every fantasy GM is sure to be presented with adversity somewhere along the way... keep on truckin' and good things will continue to happen.
War Pigs
Talk about old-school ground n' pound: As a group, the starting backfield for War Pigs collectively logged just two targets this past week. Tell those quarterbacks to dump it down a little more often in Week 10!
