Coach Talk

JSchiZo5150's Tip-Top Team
Way to shrug off that two-match losing skid, JSchiZo5150's Tip-Top Team! Every fantasy GM is sure to be hit with adversity at some point or another... keep at it and good things will continue to happen.
Badnews Bears
Badnews Bears may find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunity this past week. Our pass-catching corps (two WR and one TE) collectively got a respectable 18 targets in Week 3. Those players might need to hit the practice field, considering they managed just 10 catches.
