Coach Talk

D Cleveland Steamer
Whoa now D Cleveland Steamer, that's what rigorous preparation and executing the game plan will do for ya! A completion percentage of 89 percent this past week for Mr. Precision... Uh, sorry, I mean Russell Wilson. That Falcons defense didn't stand a chance! We know the GM of D Cleveland Steamer is thankful for that precision and attention to detail.
Chuck - ByeWeekTeam
Hey, it's possible that Chuck - ByeWeekTeam would be a better GM in real football than in fantasy. Seeing just zero targets combined in Week 1, their four starting pass-catchers (two WR, two TE) apparently made the bulk of their contributions by running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
