Coach Talk

sAviOr
You know, this sport is all about spotting the mismatches. Thanks to stellar production from our pass-catchers, our squad really took that to heart this past week. We almost quadrupled Tankland at wide receiver (23.2 points to 6.1). Davante Adams had 119 receiving yards while Robert Woods chipped in with 74 yards.
Tankland
Hey, it's possible that Tankland may be a better talent scout in the NFL than in fantasy football. Seeing only 10 targets as a group this past week, their three starting pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) apparently did a superb job running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
