Coach Talk

Eat the ball
Hey, football is all about exploiting the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by almost quadrupling Montana Griz at the wide receiver position (70.5 points to 17.67).
Montana Griz
There's a real possibility that Montana Griz may be a better GM in real football than in fantasy. With just 21 total targets in Week 10, their six starting pass-catchers (five WR, one TE) apparently spent the majority of their games running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
