Coach Talk

Gone Huntin'
This sport is all about creating mismatches. Fueled by stellar numbers from our receiving corps, our team really took that to heart this past week. We royally dominated Average Joes at wide receiver (18.2 points to 6.9). Keenan Allen had 57 receiving yards while Tyler Boyd chipped in with 65 yards.
Average Joes
It's entirely possible that Average Joes might be a better talent scout in real football than in fantasy. Accumulating only six 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.
