Coach Talk

Texas Rattlers
The key to success in football is exploiting the mismatches. Not only did we double up Texas Proud at QB (92 points to 45), we also nearly tripled them at WR (73 to 25).
Texas Proud
Hey, it's possible that Texas Proud may be a better GM in real football than in fantasy. Accumulating just 19 targets as a group this past week, their five wide receivers apparently did a superb job blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
