Coach Talk

Atlanta Falcons
Nice work, Atlanta Falcons. Assembling a team that earned more than 135 points this past matchup. We should take this win in stride, tip our cap to the GM of Yuvraj's Neat Team, and continue pushing forward to a fantasy championship.
Yuvraj's Neat Team
Welp, we certainly can't complain about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? Our trio of pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) were targeted a hearty 15 times in Week 6. Timing and chemistry appear to be issues as that group managed only nine receptions.
