Coach Talk

Matthew's Team
Way to shrug off that three-game losing streak, Matthew's Team! Every fantasy GM is sure to be faced with adversity at some point or another... keep pushing forward and good things will continue to happen.
Dustin's Team
Unless Dustin's Team wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing many opportunities" isn't really a viable excuse this week. Our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 17 times in Week 4. Those players might need to hit the practice field, considering they recorded just six receptions.
