Coach Talk

dolchezza
Identifying mismatches is a huge key to success in football. Thanks to a solid performance from Ben Roethlisberger, we almost tripled Alcatraz Jackals at the quarterback position this past week (17 points to 6). Roethlisberger went 22-for-34 for 235 yards, two TDs, and two INTs in a 17-10 triumph over the Patriots.
Alcatraz Jackals
Hey, it's possible that Alcatraz Jackals may be a better GM in real football than in fantasy. With only 11 total targets this past week, their three starting pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) apparently did a superb job running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
