Coach Talk

sam's Team
Countless hours in the film room and on the practice field. Full attention from all 11 guys in the huddle. Every single route, every single pass, meticulously planned and flawlessly executed. The outcome? A superb 28 connections on 29 attempts: good enough for a 97% completion percentage for Philip Rivers this past week. The Cardinals secondary didn't stand a chance!.
Mr Wiggley's Team
It's entirely possible that Mr Wiggley's Team could be a better GM in real football than in fantasy. Seeing only 15 total targets this past week, their four starting pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) apparently helped their teams' causes by running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
