Coach Talk

Smack Down
Solid work this past week, Smack Down! We'll give thanks for this bountiful victory, and now redirect our attention towards a stiff challenge in Giant Squid.
GawDz
Hey, it's possible that GawDz would be a better talent scout in real football than in fantasy. Accumulating only 12 targets as a group in Week 12, their four wide receivers apparently did a superb job running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
