Coach Talk

LombardiWould bProud
Only one field goal on three attempts? It's quite possible that Matt Prater just kicked himself back into the free agent pool after this performance.
ATL_Falcons11
It's entirely possible that ATL_Falcons11 could be a better talent scout in real football than in fantasy. Accumulating only 16 targets as a group in Week 16, their four wide receivers apparently contributed primarily by blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
