Coach Talk

FantasyFootballTeam
Props on assembling a lineup that earned more than 175 points this past week. We took care of business and did what we needed to do.
The Graveyard
With four receptions on just five targets this past week, the starting RBs for The Graveyard should remind their quarterbacks to start checking down more often (and dial up a screen play or two).
