Coach Talk

Nightmares
Hey, this sport is all about exploiting the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by doubling up SECFOR Sixers at the wide receiver position (80.4 points to 33.1).
SECFOR Sixers
Welp, we certainly can't complain about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? Our five pass-catchers (three WR and two TE) combined to see a hearty 31 targets in Week 5. With only 19 total catches, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
