Coach Talk

Hi Risk Hi Reward
Kudos to you, Hi Risk Hi Reward. Assembling a lineup that exceeded the century mark in Week 8. Let's keep this momentum rolling as we step into our next challenge in Week 9.
Scar's Squad
Well, we can't really whine about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? Our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) were targeted a respectable 29 times in Week 8. With just 13 total catches, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
