Coach Talk

TB12 Blaster!
Creating mismatches is a huge component to winning in football. Thanks to a stellar showing from Kyler Murray, we tripled michael's Team at the quarterback position this past week (38.14 points to 12.16). Murray went 27-for-36 for 406 yards, three TDs, and an INT in a 33-26 win over the Eagles.
michael's Team
Hey, it's possible that michael's Team would be a better GM in real football than in fantasy. With just 17 targets as a group this past week, their four wide receivers apparently helped their teams' causes by running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
