Coach Talk

Back That Pass Up
Well done, Back That Pass Up. Nice job assembling a lineup that nearly earned 132 points this past week. Let's take this victory in stride, tip our cap to the GM of Tha Champ, and continue marching forward to the PPR Auction Needsmorecowbell league championship.
Tha Champ
Tha Champ may find it tough to complain about lack of opportunities this past week. Our five pass-catchers (four WR, one TE) collectively got a grand total of 31 targets in Week 1. With just 17 total receptions, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
