Coach Talk

Cody's Phenomenal Team
Way to shrug off that eight-match winless skid, Cody's Phenomenal Team! Each fantasy team is faced with adversity somewhere along the way... continue to keep your eyes out for what challenges lie ahead.
Sports Entertainment is Rigged
Unless Sports Entertainment is Rigged wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting many opportunities" cannot be a valid excuse this week. Our pass-catchers (one WR, one TE) were targeted a whopping 17 times in Week 15. With just nine total catches, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
