Coach Talk

AZTECS
Nice job shrugging off that three-game winless streak, AZTECS! Each fantasy team is sure to be hit with adversity somewhere along the way... keep on truckin' and good things will continue to happen.
Wildebeasts
Whoa now, talk about old-school ground n' pound. The starting RBs for Wildebeasts collectively logged just a couple of targets this past week. Instruct those quarterbacks to check down a little more often in Week 5!
