Coach Talk

Mixon It Up
Way to shrug off that two-game losing skid, Mixon It Up! Every fantasy team will surely be faced with adversity somewhere along the way... keep at it and remember that this season is far from over.
FreshPrinceOfHelaire
Welp, we can't really complain about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (two WR and one TE) combined to see a hearty 19 targets in Week 3. Those players should participate in some additional timing drills with their QBs, considering they pulled down only 11 catches.
