Coach Talk

john's Team
Spotting mismatches is a huge component to winning in football. We really took that to heart this week by tripling richard's Swag Team at the wide receiver position (25.9 points to 7.8).
richard's Swag Team
There's a chance that richard's Swag Team would be a better GM in real football than in fantasy. With only eight targets combined this past week, their four starting pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) apparently spent most of their games blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
