Coach Talk

Ethan's Expert Team
Identifying mismatches is a big key to success in football. Case in point: we really took that to heart by thoroughly dominating Steven's Team at running back this past week (42 points to 5.8).
Steven's Team
There's a distinct possibility that Steven's Team may be a better talent scout in real football than in fantasy. Seeing only 15 total targets this past week, their four starting pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) apparently contributed to their respective offenses by running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
