Coach Talk

Mike's Team
Nice job shrugging off that two-game winless skid, Mike's Team! Each fantasy GM is met with adversity somewhere along the way... keep on truckin' and remember that this season is far from over.
WR3withUpside
Well, we certainly can't gripe about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? Our five pass-catchers (four WR and one TE) collectively saw a hearty 27 targets in Week 3. Chemistry could be the primary problem, as that group tallied only 14 receptions.
