Coach Talk

jason's Team

Scott's Swell Team
Hey, it's possible that Scott's Swell Team might be a better talent scout in real football than in fantasy. Accumulating just 12 total targets this past week, their three starting pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) apparently contributed to their teams' offenses by blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
