Coach Talk

Treasure Hunters
Spotting mismatches is a big component to winning in football. Fueled by a stellar performance from Dak Prescott, we doubled up Diggin Heat at the quarterback position this past week (27.25 points to 13.4). Prescott went 32-for-49 for 355 yards, two TDs, and an INT in a 26-15 loss to the Bills.
Diggin Heat
It's entirely possible that Diggin Heat might be a better GM in real football than in fantasy. Accumulating only 13 targets combined this past week, their four starting pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) apparently made the bulk of their contributions by running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
