Coach Talk

tatetoke
You know, the key to football is finding the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by doubling up Ross's Expert Team at the wide receiver position (61 points to 26.28).
Ross's Expert Team
Well, we can't really whine about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) were targeted a whopping 36 times in Week 9. Chemistry seems to be the primary issue, as that group managed just 21 receptions.
