Coach Talk

Garrett's Team
Hey now Garrett's Team, that's what rigorous preparation and executing the game plan can do for ya! A completion percentage of 83% this past week for Mr. Efficient... Uh, sorry, I mean Cam Newton. That Seahawks defense didn't stand a chance! In what wound up being a tight matchup, the GM of Garrett's Team has got to be grateful for the efficiency and attention to detail.
HurrayTitans!
It's entirely possible that HurrayTitans! could be a better GM in the NFL than in fantasy football. Seeing just 12 targets as a group this past week, their three starting pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) apparently contributed primarily by blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
