Coach Talk

Happy Golladays
Deploying a starting crew that won by nearly 16 points this past week... we did what we needed to do and took care of business. We should tip our cap to the GM of FantasyFootballTeam, take this victory in stride, and continue our march towards the Too Many Californians league championship.
FantasyFootballTeam
"Not getting many chances" won't cut it as an excuse this week for FantasyFootballTeam. As a group, our five pass-catchers (four WR and one TE) collectively got a grand total of 35 targets in Week 8. Those players should spend extra practice time working with their QBs, considering they tallied only 21 receptions.
