Coach Talk

Crouching Tigers
The key to success in football is creating mismatches. Thanks to stellar performances by Tyreek Hill and Keenan Allen, our squad really took that to heart this past week. We thoroughly dominated Mark's Majestic Team at wide receiver (34.8 points to 6). Hill had 139 receiving yards while Allen logged 78 yards.
Mark's Majestic Team
It's entirely possible that Mark's Majestic Team might be a better GM in the NFL than in fantasy football. With only seven targets combined this past week, their two wide receivers apparently helped their teams' causes by blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
