Coach Talk

The Wolverines
Bravo, The Wolverines. Putting together a lineup that registered almost 113 points this past matchup.
Hammer Dahn
It's entirely possible that Hammer Dahn would be a better talent scout in the NFL than in fantasy football. Seeing only nine targets as a group in Week 16, their four wide receivers apparently made the bulk of their contributions by blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
