Coach Talk

Steeler Nation
Way to shrug off that three-game losing streak, Steeler Nation! Every fantasy GM will surely be presented with adversity somewhere along the way... keep at it and good things will continue to happen.
SteelersRing7
SteelersRing7 will find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunity this past week. Our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) collectively got a grand total of 33 targets in Week 9. Those players might need to spend more time with the JUGS machine, considering they reeled in only 16 receptions.
