Coach Talk

Goldmine 💣💰💣
Nice job deploying a lineup that won by nearly 42 points this past week. We did what we needed to do and took care of business. Let's maintain this momentum as we move on to what might be a favorable Week 9 matchup.
DK’s Jungle
Unless DK’s Jungle wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing enough looks" doesn't fly as an excuse this time around. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) collectively saw a healthy 26 targets in Week 8. Those players should spend extra practice time working with their QBs, considering they reeled in just 16 receptions.
