Coach Talk

T C's Top-Notch Team

richard's Swag Team
Hey, it's possible that richard's Swag Team would be a better talent scout in real football than in fantasy. Seeing only 12 total targets this past week, their four starting pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) apparently did a superb job blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
