Coach Talk

Detroit Lions
Nice work, Detroit Lions. Props on deploying a team that earned more than 139 points this past matchup. We should take this win in stride, tip our cap to the GM of Kookz, and continue on our way towards a fantasy championship.
Kookz
Unless Kookz wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting enough looks" isn't really a valid excuse this time around. Our pass-catching corps (four WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 44 times in Week 3. With just 26 total catches, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
