Coach Talk

Stars and Scrubs
Deploying a starting crew that produced over 123 points this past week... we consider that to be a job well done. Let's tip our cap to the GM of Closet of Hope-fuls, take this W in stride, and continue on our way towards a fantasy championship.
Closet of Hope-fuls
Unless Closet of Hope-fuls wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting enough chances" cannot be a reasonable excuse this week. Our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) collectively received a healthy 26 targets in Week 2. With just 16 total receptions, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
