Coach Talk

The Hair Diapers
Creating mismatches is a big component to winning in football. We really took that to heart this week by utterly dominating christopher's Team at the wide receiver position (42.3 points to 11.8).
christopher's Team
There's a real chance that christopher's Team could be a better GM in the NFL than in fantasy football. Seeing only 12 total targets in Week 6, their four starting pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) apparently did a superb job running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
