Coach Talk

San Antonio GHOSTS
A big key to success in football is creating mismatches. Fueled by stellar numbers from our pass-catchers, our team really took that to heart this past week. We almost quadrupled Throw up the X at wide receiver (30 points to 8). DeAndre Hopkins had 170 receiving yards and two TDs while Josh Gordon logged 19 yards.
Throw up the X
The problem this week was pretty easy to spot, Throw up the X. Choosing to start the Los Angeles Chargers defense in a fantasy matchup where your opponent tallied 76 points... let's try to play with a full deck of cards next time?
