Coach Talk

GroundNPound
Putting together a starting crew that won by over 12 points this past week... we consider that to be a job done right. We should maintain this momentum as we roll into our Week 3 matchup.
Kyle 125$
Welp, we can't really gripe about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? Our five pass-catchers (four WR and one TE) collectively got a grand total of 41 targets in Week 2. With just 24 total receptions, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
