Coach Talk

kevin's Team
Hey, the key to football is exploiting the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by thoroughly outplaying OBX Burger at the wide receiver position (83.28 points to 17.24).
OBX Burger
There's a chance that OBX Burger would be a better talent scout in real football than in fantasy. Seeing only 14 total targets this past week, their four wide receivers apparently made most of their contributions by blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
