Coach Talk

Bad Hombres
Spotting mismatches is a big key to success in football. Not only did we dominate Shot Gun Sally at WR (52.9 points to 20.7), we also thoroughly dominated them at RB (36.1 to 5.4).
Shot Gun Sally
Hey, it's possible that Shot Gun Sally may be a better talent scout in the NFL than in fantasy football. Seeing only seven targets as a group in Week 8, their four wide receivers apparently spent the majority of their games running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
