Coach Talk

wasp
The key to success in football is exploiting the mismatches. Case in point: we really emphasized that by tripling Rednecks at running back this past week (69.4 points to 21.3).
Rednecks
Hey, it's possible that Rednecks could be a better talent scout in the NFL than in fantasy football. Seeing only six total targets this past week, their two wide receivers apparently spent most of their games running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
