Coach Talk

Jefferson Airplane
Now that's what we call righting the ship... The GM of Jefferson Airplane shrugged off their two-game losing skid by putting up a whopping 133.64 points this past week!
Team Norseman
There's a chance that Team Norseman may be a better GM in the NFL than in fantasy football. Seeing just 15 total targets this past week, their four starting pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) apparently made most of their contributions by blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
