Coach Talk

Action Jackson
Nice job shrugging off that five-game winless streak, Action Jackson! Every fantasy GM will surely be faced with adversity somewhere along the way... keep on truckin' and remember the 2021 season is far from over.
Darth Tater
Well, we can't really complain about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our three tight ends collectively received a grand total of 18 targets in Week 8. With only nine total catches, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
