Coach Talk

Boston Saints
This sport is all about spotting the mismatches. Fueled by stellar performances by Davante Adams and Allen Robinson II, our squad really took that to heart this past week. We thoroughly dominated Cocktails and Dreams at wide receiver (37 points to 6). Adams had 103 receiving yards while Robinson II chipped in with 125 yards.
Cocktails and Dreams
There's a distinct possibility that Cocktails and Dreams might be a better GM in real football than in fantasy. With only 10 targets as a group this past week, their three starting pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) apparently contributed to their respective offenses by blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
