Coach Talk

Aniak Taqukaqs
Nice work deploying a lineup that registered 290.5 points this past week. We consider that to be a job well done. We should take this win in stride, tip our hat to the GM of Squirrel Shooters, and continue the march towards a fantasy championship.
Squirrel Shooters
Unless Squirrel Shooters wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting many opportunities" won't cut it as an excuse this time around. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) combined to see a hearty 37 targets in Week 1. Chemistry could be an issue, as that group pulled down just 20 balls.
