Coach Talk

Duuval
Nice work assembling a lineup that netted more than 120 points this past week. We consider that to be a job well done. Let's tip our cap to the GM of Swagers81, take this W in stride, and continue our march towards a fantasy championship.
Swagers81
"Not getting many chances" shouldn't really be an excuse this week for Swagers81. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) collectively got a respectable 23 targets in Week 1. Those players might need to spend more time with the JUGS machine, considering they recorded only 12 receptions.
