Coach Talk

Le Champion
Mission accomplished, Le Champion. Good work assembling a lineup that netted more than 161 points this past matchup. We should tip our cap to the GM of Rice & Beans, take this W in stride, and continue on our way towards a fantasy title.
Rice & Beans
Welp, we can't really complain about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? Our six pass-catchers (five WR and one TE) collectively received a whopping 28 targets in Week 5. With only 16 total receptions, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
