Coach Talk

DaggerDennis

The Quest For Last
Hey, it's possible that The Quest For Last could be a better GM in the NFL than in fantasy football. With only 11 targets as a group in Week 16, their four starting pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) apparently contributed to their teams' offenses by blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
