Coach Talk

Philip's Team
Identifying mismatches is a big key to success in football. In addition to doubling up The Warriors at QB (30.08 points to 13.58), we also thoroughly dominated them at WR (33.3 to 12.6).
The Warriors
Hey, it's possible that The Warriors could be a better GM in the NFL than in fantasy football. With only nine total targets this past week, their four starting pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) apparently helped their teams' causes by blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
