Coach Talk

Arin Johnson's Team
Kudos to you, Arin Johnson's Team. Fielding a team that recorded over 150 points this past matchup. We should maintain this momentum as we step into our next matchup in Week 2.
Sandbagging
Welp, we can't really complain about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? Our five pass-catchers (four WR, one TE) collectively got a respectable 34 targets in Week 1. Those players should try to get some extra practice reps in with their QBs, considering they reeled in just 20 receptions.
