Coach Talk

Not picking Christian Watson
You know Not picking Christian Watson, the good news is that we won this matchup by more than 28 points. The *even better* news is that we know we're stronger than this... as a matter of fact, our team's scoring average through four weeks was 130.43. So while we're happy to have earned this victory, let's get back up to where we know we can be!
Fantasy King
Well, we can't really complain about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) collectively got a whopping 29 targets in Week 5. With just 17 total receptions, that group may have some chemistry issues.
