Coach Talk

SheikHawks
Creating mismatches is a big component to winning in football. We really took that to heart this week by quadrupling Billy W's Bold Team at the wide receiver position (40.2 points to 9.3).
Billy W's Bold Team
It's entirely possible that Billy W's Bold Team might be a better talent scout in real football than in fantasy. With only seven total targets in Week 5, their five starting pass-catchers (four WR, one TE) apparently contributed primarily by running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
