Coach Talk

Brian McDougall
Hey, the key to football is finding the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by doubling up Tyler's Tip-Top Team at the wide receiver position (75 points to 31.5).
Tyler's Tip-Top Team
Well, we certainly can't gripe about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) combined to receive a hearty 37 targets in Week 5. Timing and chemistry seem to be issues as that group pulled down only 19 catches.
