Coach Talk

g-men
Hey, football is all about exploiting the mismatches, right? We really took that to heart this week by doubling up Bert's Superb Team at the wide receiver position (25.68 points to 11.6).
Bert's Superb Team
Hey, it's possible that Bert's Superb Team might be a better GM in real football than in fantasy. Seeing only 12 targets as a group this past week, their six starting pass-catchers (four WR, two TE) apparently helped their teams' causes by blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
