Coach Talk

Indianapolis Colts
Hey now Indianapolis Colts, that's the sort of display we love to see! A completion percentage of 84% this past go round for Mr. Precision... Uh, sorry, I mean Andy Dalton. That Rams secondary didn't know what hit 'em! We know the manager of Indianapolis Colts has got to be grateful for this type of precision and attention to detail.
Washington Commanders
Hey, it's possible that Washington Commanders might be a better GM in real football than in fantasy. With only six targets combined in Week 11, their five wide receivers apparently spent the majority of their games blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
