Coach Talk

Junior's Expert Team
Identifying mismatches is a big key to success in football. Thanks to a awesome outing by Philip Rivers, we tripled NEO-LEO at the quarterback position this past week (27.96 points to 8.28). Rivers went 26-for-36 for 299 yards and two TDs in a 33-30 win over the Steelers.
NEO-LEO
There's a real possibility that NEO-LEO would be a better GM in the NFL than in fantasy football. Seeing just 13 targets combined this past week, their four starting pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) apparently spent most of their games blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
