Coach Talk

The Replacements
Mission accomplished, The Replacements. Putting together a lineup that earned over 167 points this past matchup. We should tip our cap to the GM of Manager-less Team, take this victory in stride, and continue the march towards a fantasy championship.
Manager-less Team
Well, we certainly can't gripe about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR, two TE) were targeted a healthy 33 times in Week 1. With just 16 total catches, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
