Coach Talk

Nick
You know, the key to football is spotting and exploiting the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by utterly dominating Viva Las Raiders at the wide receiver position (41.22 points to 6.25).
Viva Las Raiders
It's entirely possible that Viva Las Raiders could be a better talent scout in real football than in fantasy. Seeing only seven targets as a group this past week, their four wide receivers apparently did a superb job blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
