Coach Talk

My Broken Johnson
Hey, finding mismatches is the key to football, right? Along with dominating Shea Faced at RB (26.6 points to 9.9), we also tripled them at QB (32.56 to 10.52).
Shea Faced
It's entirely possible that Shea Faced could be a better talent scout in real football than in fantasy. With just 13 targets as a group this past week, their four wide receivers apparently contributed primarily by blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
