Coach Talk

Mr. Phamtastic
Heckuva job overcoming that two-game winless skid, Mr. Phamtastic! Every fantasy team is faced with adversity at some point or another... continue to keep your eyes out for what challenges lie ahead.
AA Ron Balakay
Unless AA Ron Balakay wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting many opportunities" doesn't fly as an excuse this time around. Our pass-catching corps (two WR, one TE) collectively got a whopping 17 targets in Week 8. With only eight total catches, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
