Coach Talk
Najee by nature
Assembling a lineup that produced 102.78 points this past week... we deem that to be a job well done. We should keep this momentum going as we roll into what's sure to be an exceedingly challenging matchup in Week 4.
VinSanity
Well, we certainly can't whine about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) collectively saw a grand total of 36 targets in Week 3. Chemistry and timing seem to be issues as that group tallied only 20 catches.
