Coach Talk

Washington Football Team
Wow, Washington Football Team, you put the rest of the league on notice with this dominant effort. Not only did you win by 95.52 points, you also climbed from 11th place to eighth in the league standings!
San Francisco 49ers
It's entirely possible that San Francisco 49ers would be a better talent scout in the NFL than in fantasy football. Seeing just 22 targets combined this past week, their five wide receivers apparently helped their teams' causes by running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
