Coach Talk

Slow Clap
Hey, we'll definitely take the win, Slow Clap! Having said that, if we want to take our performance to the next level, then we have found an area to improve; our QB was severely outplayed this past week. Deshaun Watson went 19-of-24 for 210 yards and two touchdowns for Steve's Swag Team, and all Matthew Stafford could manage through the air was 236 passing yards and two ugly interceptions. Let's work overtime to get on the same page with our receivers this week!
Steve's Swag Team
It's entirely possible that Steve's Swag Team might be a better talent scout in the NFL than in fantasy football. Seeing just 12 total targets this past week, their four wide receivers apparently spent most of their games blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
