Coach Talk

Caribbean Bombers
Props to you, Caribbean Bombers. Nice work deploying a lineup that blew the opponent out by a whopping 45 points this past matchup. Let's tip our cap to the GM of Cedric's TPSer's, take this win in stride, and continue pushing forward to a fantasy title.
Cedric's TPSer's
Well, we certainly can't gripe about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? Our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) collectively got a healthy 25 targets in Week 8. Chemistry appears to be the primary problem, as that group managed just 11 receptions.
