Coach Talk

Tds and Beer
Getting the win is most important, Tds and Beer, but we also know of one spot where we should get stronger as a team. Our wide receivers were thoroughly outplayed this past week. DJ Moore (73 yards from scrimmage, no TDs) and Justin Jefferson (80 yards, no TDs) combined for only 22.9 points in Week 6. For Pulsechamber, Stefon Diggs and CeeDee Lamb almost tripled us up with a score of 66. We need to bounce back with a big statement in Week 7!
Pulsechamber
Well, Pulsechamber, Week 6's problem is fairly easy to diagnose. Going with Nick Chubb, Kyle Pitts, and the San Francisco 49ers defense in a tough fantasy matchup... let's try to play with a full deck of cards next time?
