Coach Talk

DITKA e
Hey, exploiting mismatches is the key to football, right? We really took that to heart this week by soundly outplaying Fred's Team12 at the wide receiver position (32.9 points to 3.9).
Fred's Team12
There's a chance that Fred's Team12 may be a better GM in real football than in fantasy. Accumulating only six total targets this past week, their three wide receivers apparently did a superb job running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
