Coach Talk

Shake n' Bake
Identifying mismatches is a big key to success in football. Our team took that to heart this past week and nearly tripled The Sacko's at the quarterback position (46.83 points to 16.42).
The Sacko's
Hey, it's possible that The Sacko's may be a better talent scout in real football than in fantasy. With only six total targets in Week 15, their two wide receivers apparently helped their teams' causes by running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
