Coach Talk

SAWTOOTHS
Heckuva job overcoming that two-game winless streak, SAWTOOTHS! Each fantasy team is met with adversity at some point or another... keep on truckin' and remember the 2022 season is far from over.
WarEagle
Well, we can't really whine about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our six pass-catchers (five WR, one TE) collectively saw a whopping 37 targets in Week 3. With just 22 total catches, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
