Coach Talk

Tyler's Tip-Top Team
Deploying a lineup that accounted for almost 170 points this past week... we took care of business and did what we needed to do. Let's keep this momentum going as we roll into what ought to be a winnable matchup in Week 2.
Manager-less Team
Manager-less Team may find it tough to complain about lack of opportunity this past week. Our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) collectively received a respectable 34 targets in Week 1. With just 20 total receptions, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
