Coach Talk

CharlesV's Team
Spotting mismatches is a huge key to success in football. Fueled by a stellar outing from Drew Brees, we tripled Aaron's Team at the quarterback position this past week (40.06 points to 12.96). Brees was a bright spot in a close loss to the 49ers, going 29-of-40 for 349 yards and five passing TDs.
Aaron's Team
Registering four catches on only five targets this past week, it appears that the starting RBs for Aaron's Team should remind their QBs to get them more involved (and dial up a screen play or two).
