Coach Talk

NYG
Nice job shrugging off that three-game losing streak, NYG! Every fantasy team is sure to be met with adversity somewhere along the way... keep pushing forward and remember that this season is far from over.
King Of The Hill
Unless King Of The Hill wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting many looks" is definitely not a reasonable excuse this week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 40 times in Week 4. With only 23 total receptions, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
