Coach Talk

Seattle Seahawks
Listen Seattle Seahawks, we're glass-half-full kind of coaches. While others may harp on the fact that our scoring's slipped lately, we'll choose to spin this in a positive direction. Averaging 242.87 points through Week 10, our crew has shown it's certainly capable of outperforming the 186.54 we needed to win this past week!
Los Angeles Rams
There's a real chance that Los Angeles Rams might be a better GM in the NFL than in fantasy football. With only 13 targets combined in Week 11, their four wide receivers apparently contributed primarily by running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
