Coach Talk

ForWhomTheBellTolls
Countless hours in the film room and in practice. Full attention from all 11 guys in the huddle. Every single route, every single pass, meticulously planned and flawlessly executed. The outcome? A spectacular 22 connections on 25 attempts... good enough for a completion percentage of 88 percent for Drew Brees this past week. The Bengals secondary didn't see it coming!.
Hooked on A. Thielen
Hey, it's possible that Hooked on A. Thielen would be a better GM in real football than in fantasy. With just six total targets in Week 10, their three starting pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) apparently helped their teams' causes by blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
