Coach Talk

Thanos' Super Snappers
Nice job overcoming that three-game winless skid, Thanos' Super Snappers! Every fantasy team is met with adversity at some point or another... keep on truckin' and remember that this season is far from over.
J.A.R.V.I.S.' Iron Legion
J.A.R.V.I.S.' Iron Legion will find it tough to complain about lack of opportunities this past week. As a group, our trio of pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) collectively saw a grand total of 30 targets in Week 5. Chemistry seems to be an issue, as that group hauled in only 17 receptions.
