Coach Talk

Word
Bravo, Word. Assembling a team that recorded nearly 478 points this past matchup. Let's take this W in stride, tip our cap to the GM of FANTASY GURU, and continue on our way towards a fantasy championship.
FANTASY GURU
Unless FANTASY GURU wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting enough looks" doesn't fly as an excuse this time around. As a group, our five pass-catchers (four WR and one TE) were targeted a healthy 31 times in Week 4. Those players might need to get some extra reps with the JUGS machine, considering they recorded just 16 catches.
