Coach Talk

Sledgehammers
Hey, finding mismatches is the key to football, right? Thanks to a solid display from Lamar Jackson, we quadrupled Aida Wildcats at the quarterback position this past week (52 points to 12). Jackson went 17-for-24 for 222 yards and four TDs in a 41-7 triumph over the Texans.
Aida Wildcats
It's entirely possible that Aida Wildcats would be a better GM in real football than in fantasy. Seeing only one total targets in Week 11, their four starting pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) apparently did a superb job blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
