Coach Talk

1.21 JJ Watts
Putting together a starting crew that earned more than 111 points this past week... we consider that to be a job well done.
Shawn's Swell Team
It's entirely possible that Shawn's Swell Team could be a better GM in real football than in fantasy. Seeing just 12 total targets this past week, their two wide receivers apparently helped their teams' causes by blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
