Coach Talk

Cowboy Chip
Hey, this sport is all about taking advantage of the mismatches, right? Along with doubling up Warriors of Angels at QB (33 points to 16), we also tripled them at RB (45 to 13).
Warriors of Angels
There's a possibility that Warriors of Angels could be a better talent scout in the NFL than in fantasy football. Accumulating only 14 total targets this past week, their four starting pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) apparently made the bulk of their contributions by blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
