Coach Talk

🤠 The Banditos 🤠
A big key to success in football is exploiting the mismatches. Thanks to stellar production from our pass-catchers, our team really took that to heart this past week. We doubled up Mighty Mike's Team #5 at wide receiver (25.1 points to 10.7). Robert Woods had 35 receiving yards while Jerry Jeudy chipped in with 39 yards.
Mighty Mike's Team #5
There's a decent chance that Mighty Mike's Team #5 may be a better GM in real football than in fantasy. Accumulating only six targets combined in Week 8, their two wide receivers apparently helped their teams' causes by running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
