Coach Talk

Aaron's Amazing Team
This sport is all about exploiting the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by doubling up Quaran-TEAM at the wide receiver position (41.9 points to 18.72).
Quaran-TEAM
Well, we certainly can't whine about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? Our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) combined to get a hearty 28 targets in Week 5. Timing and chemistry seem to be issues as that group reeled in only 16 balls.
