Coach Talk

Goodfellas
Assembling a starting crew that tallied 91.78 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 Mahi Madness, and continue our march towards a fantasy championship.
Mahi Madness
Mahi Madness will find it tough to complain about lack of opportunity this past week. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) collectively received a grand total of 18 targets in Week 8. Those players should participate in some additional timing drills with their QBs, considering they tallied just eight receptions.
