Coach Talk

Judge Jeudy
Nice job overcoming that three-game losing streak, Judge Jeudy! Every fantasy GM is presented with adversity somewhere along the way... keep pushing forward and remember that this season is far from over.
Fantasy Manatee
Producing only one catch on four measly targets this past week, it seems like the starting running backs for Fantasy Manatee should smooth things over with their quarterbacks... and remind them to start checking down more frequently.
