Coach Talk

Champ Kind
Good work, Champ Kind. Kudos on assembling a team that recorded 718.6 points this past matchup. We should take this W in stride, tip our cap to the GM of Bubba Gump Shrimp Co, and continue on our way towards a fantasy championship.
Bubba Gump Shrimp Co
Unless Bubba Gump Shrimp Co wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing many looks" cannot be a reasonable excuse this time around. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) combined to see a healthy 31 targets in Week 3. Chemistry and timing appear to be issues as that group reeled in just 18 balls.
