Coach Talk

Coach's Cats
Way to shrug off that three-match losing skid, Coach's Cats! Each fantasy team will surely be faced with adversity somewhere along the way... keep on truckin' and remember that this season is far from over.
Lambinators
With just one catch this past week, the starting RBs for Lambinators obviously need to smooth things over with their QBs... and remind them to check down more often.
