Coach Talk

Invincibles
Hey, creating mismatches is the key to football, right? Not only did we almost triple Sepulcher of Doom at RB (34.92 points to 12.3), we also quadrupled them at WR (49.5 to 11.83).
Sepulcher of Doom
There's a chance that Sepulcher of Doom could be a better talent scout in the NFL than in fantasy football. Seeing just eight total targets in Week 8, their three wide receivers apparently spent the majority of their games running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
