Coach Talk

Beloglavi
Hey, football is all about exploiting the mismatches. Thanks to a solid showing by Russell Wilson, we utterly dominated Keeper Reapers at the quarterback position this past week (49 points to 7). Wilson went 29-for-43 for 378 yards and five TDs in a 40-34 win over the Buccaneers.
Keeper Reapers
Hey, it's possible that Keeper Reapers may be a better talent scout in real football than in fantasy. With only five total targets this past week, their three starting pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) apparently spent the majority of their games blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
