Coach Talk

john's Legit Team
Hey, it's good to be confident, john's Legit Team. Deploying a starter with zero points (Chase Claypool), while still getting a win... that's borderline cocky! We just ask you to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the early regular season. Do it when the playoffs roll around, and we're finished.
Adam Sandler's Fine Team
Adam Sandler's Fine Team will find it tough to complain about lack of opportunities this past week. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) were targeted a whopping 32 times in Week 4. With just 18 total receptions, that group may have some chemistry issues.
