Coach Talk

By Demon's Be Driven
Heckuva job shrugging off that three-game winless skid, By Demon's Be Driven! Every fantasy GM is sure to be faced with adversity at some point or another... keep showing resilience like this and good things will continue to happen.
Alfred's Team
Unless Alfred's Team wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing many looks" is definitely not a valid excuse this week. Our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) combined to receive a grand total of 19 targets in Week 8. Those players should participate in some additional timing drills with their QBs, considering they reeled in only 11 receptions.
