Coach Talk

WindyCity Rebels
Hey, football is all about exploiting the mismatches, right? Our team found one this past week and doubled up Mushroom Capital at the quarterback position (31 points to 15).
Mushroom Capital
Well, we can't really complain about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our five pass-catchers (three WR, two TE) combined to see a grand total of 23 targets in Week 8. With just 14 total catches, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
