Coach Talk

BenchWarmers
Good job assembling a lineup that tallied 135.46 points this past week. We took care of business and did what had to be done. Let's take this victory in stride, tip our cap to the GM of 505 Long Dogs, and continue pushing forward to a fantasy title.
505 Long Dogs
Hey, 505 Long Dogs, what'd your pass-catchers do to get written out of their teams' game plans this week? With just 16 targets combined this past week, our starting receiver crew (three WR, one TE) obviously got on the bad side of their respective QBs.
