Coach Talk

Michigan Panthers
Way to shrug off that two-game winless streak, Michigan Panthers! Every fantasy GM will surely be hit with adversity somewhere along the way... keep on truckin' and take things one week at a time.
Ottawa Rough Riders
"Not seeing enough looks" really isn't an excuse this week for Ottawa Rough Riders. Our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) collectively got a healthy 29 targets in Week 13. Chemistry could be an issue, as that group notched only 17 receptions.
