Coach Talk

lefty's Crazy Team
Hey, the key to football is creating mismatches, right? We really took that to heart this week by doubling up Lannister at the wide receiver position (62.6 points to 29.7).
Lannister
Well, we certainly can't complain about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? Our five pass-catchers (four WR and one TE) collectively got a grand total of 41 targets in Week 6. Timing and chemistry seem to be issues as that group hauled in only 20 catches.
