Coach Talk

Olsztyn Tigers
You know, the key to football is taking advantage of the mismatches. Our team found one this past week and literally tripled BLM at the quarterback position (31.24 points to 9.44).
BLM
Hey, it's possible that BLM might be a better talent scout in the NFL than in fantasy football. With just 10 targets as a group in Week 6, their five starting pass-catchers (three WR, two TE) apparently contributed primarily by running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
