Coach Talk

SatisfiedBirdman
Creating mismatches is a huge component to winning in football. Thanks to stellar numbers from our receiving corps, our team really took that to heart this past week. We royally dominated Diggin Heat at wide receiver (30 points to 11.7). Adam Humphries had 61 receiving yards while JuJu Smith-Schuster chipped in with 49 yards.
Diggin Heat
Hey, it's possible that Diggin Heat could be a better GM in the NFL than in fantasy football. With only 11 targets as a group this past week, their three starting pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) apparently spent the majority of their games blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
