Coach Talk

LUCKY DOG 2.0
This sport is all about exploiting the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by doubling up Lunatic Fringe at the wide receiver position (40 points to 17).
Lunatic Fringe
Well, we certainly can't complain about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) combined to receive a respectable 23 targets in Week 1. With just 14 total receptions, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
