Coach Talk

Jags Den
Identifying mismatches is a huge component to winning in football. Our squad took that to heart this past week and thoroughly outscored shakia's Team at the quarterback position (59 points to 10).
shakia's Team
Hey, it's possible that shakia's Team would be a better GM in real football than in fantasy. Accumulating just 25 targets combined in Week 5, their nine starting pass-catchers (five WR, four TE) apparently spent the majority of their games running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
