Coach Talk

Sprint Right Option
Talk about righting the ship! The GM of Sprint Right Option shrugged off their seven-game losing streak by logging a tremendous 129.6 points this past week.
Big Ballers
Big Ballers will find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunities this past week. Our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) collectively got a hearty 26 targets in Week 8. Chemistry appears to be a problem, as that group pulled down only 16 catches.
