Coach Talk

General Jakobi
Way to shrug off that three-game losing streak, General Jakobi! Each fantasy team is sure to be presented with adversity somewhere along the way... keep pushing forward and good things will continue to happen.
Return of the Mom Slayer
Well, we certainly can't complain about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our six pass-catchers (four WR and two TE) were targeted a whopping 26 times in Week 9. With just 14 total receptions, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
