Coach Talk

Molly Hatchet
Nice job overcoming that two-game losing skid, Molly Hatchet! Every fantasy GM is sure to be hit with adversity at some point or another... keep on truckin' and good things will continue to happen.
Snod Rats
Ugh, talk about old-school ground n' pound: As a group, the starting RBs for Snod Rats collectively recorded one reception on just two measly targets this past week. Tell those offensive coordinators to draw up a couple of screen plays in Week 11!
