Coach Talk

Jesus Was A JuJu
This sport is all about creating mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by almost quadrupling Nu' Yawk Giants at the wide receiver position (92.2 points to 23.2).
Nu' Yawk Giants
It's entirely possible that Nu' Yawk Giants could be a better talent scout in real football than in fantasy. With only 18 targets as a group this past week, their five starting pass-catchers (four WR, one TE) apparently did a superb job running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
