Coach Talk

DreDreDeWinner🤑
Identifying mismatches is a huge key to success in football. In addition to doubling up THE CIRCLE at QB (66 points to 30), we also almost tripled them at WR (49 to 17).
THE CIRCLE
It's entirely possible that THE CIRCLE may be a better talent scout in real football than in fantasy. With only 11 total targets this past week, their three starting pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) apparently spent the majority of their games running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
