Coach Talk

Bethany's Team
A big key to success in football is creating mismatches. Thanks to a thrilling showing by Deshaun Watson, we utterly dominated phil's Peerless Team at the quarterback position this past week (23.42 points to 6.3). Watson went 33-for-41 for 373 yards and two TDs (plus no INTs) in a 27-20 loss to the Colts.
phil's Peerless Team
It's entirely possible that phil's Peerless Team might be a better talent scout in real football than in fantasy. With only 11 total targets this past week, their three starting pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) apparently helped their teams' causes by running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
