Coach Talk

Liberation Silver
Bravo, Liberation Silver. Deploying a lineup that logged over 136 points in Week 5. Let's take this win in stride, tip our hat to the GM of Full Chubb Energy, and continue our march towards the 978 Fantasy league championship.
Full Chubb Energy
Well, we certainly can't complain about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? Our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) collectively got a hearty 37 targets in Week 5. With just 21 total receptions, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
