Coach Talk

AZTECS
Nice job, AZTECS. Props on assembling a lineup that won by more than 14 points this past matchup. Let's tip our cap to the GM of Chris's Team, take this victory in stride, and continue on our way towards a fantasy title.
Chris's Team
Unless Chris's Team wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting enough opportunities" won't cut it as an excuse this week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (two WR and one TE) were targeted a whopping 19 times in Week 3. Chemistry could be an issue, as that group notched just 10 receptions.
