Coach Talk

Shake 'n Bake
Bravo, Shake 'n Bake. Nice job fielding a lineup that registered more than 134 points in Week 5. Let's tip our cap to the GM of Rick James, take this win in stride, and continue marching forward to a fantasy title.
Rick James
Well, we certainly can't complain about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our four pass-catchers (two WR, two TE) collectively saw a grand total of 34 targets in Week 5. Chemistry could be an issue, as that group managed only 18 catches.
