Coach Talk

Fantasy King
You know Fantasy King, the good news is that we took this matchup by more than 11 points. Even better news is that we've proven we're better than this, as our scoring average through six weeks was 101.85. So while we're happy to have gotten this victory, let's "regress" back up to where we know we can be!
Stream team
Well, we can't really gripe about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (two WR and one TE) combined to receive a hearty 24 targets in Week 7. Chemistry and timing seem to be issues as that group notched just 13 catches.
