Coach Talk

Dave's Dandy Team
Way to shrug off that two-game winless skid, Dave's Dandy Team! Every fantasy team is sure to be met with adversity somewhere along the way... keep on truckin' and remember that this season is far from over.
John's Facing the Giants Team
Unless John's Facing the Giants Team wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing many opportunities" isn't really an excuse this week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) collectively received a grand total of 31 targets in Week 9. Chemistry could be an issue, as that group hauled in only 14 catches.
