Coach Talk

Steel City Irish
Way to shrug off that two-game losing skid, Steel City Irish! Every fantasy team is faced with adversity at some point or another... keep chipping away and remember the 2021 season is far from over.
Warriors
"Not seeing enough opportunities" is definitely not an excuse this week for Warriors. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) collectively got a healthy 30 targets in Week 3. Timing and chemistry seem to be issues as that group pulled down just 18 balls.
