Robber Baron Petes fall short of predictions, come back to knock off Jessica's Team in 110.92-106.88 battle

Coach Talk

Robber Baron Petes
Football is all about spotting the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by doubling up Jessica's Team at the wide receiver position (46.87 points to 21.2).
Jessica's Team
Hey, it's possible that Jessica's Team would be a better talent scout in real football than in fantasy. Seeing just 11 targets as a group this past week, their three starting pass-catchers (three WR, zero TE) apparently made most of their contributions by blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
