Coach Talk

Tigers
Deploying a starting crew that won by more than 60 points this past week... we did what we had to do and took care of business. We should take this victory in stride, tip our cap to the GM of Runnin Gunmen, and continue our march towards the FANTASY FOOTBALL 2018 league championship.
Runnin Gunmen
Well, we can't really gripe about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) were targeted a hearty 21 times in Week 7. With only 12 total catches, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
