Coach Talk

More Cowbell Dammit
Hey, exploiting mismatches is the key to football, right? Thanks to stellar numbers from our pass-catchers, our team really took that to heart this past week. We royally dominated Trogdor! at wide receiver (24.6 points to 3.26). DeVante Parker had 159 receiving yards and two TDs while Randall Cobb chipped in with 53 yards.
Trogdor!
There's a chance that Trogdor! may be a better talent scout in the NFL than in fantasy football. Accumulating only eight targets combined this past week, their three starting pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) apparently did a superb job blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
