Coach Talk

Kentucky Zombie
Identifying mismatches is a huge key to success in football. Thanks to stellar performances by DK Metcalf and A.J. Brown, our team really took that to heart this past week. We thoroughly dominated Chris's Team at wide receiver (37 points to 7.5). Metcalf had 63 receiving yards and three TDs while Brown chipped in with 41 yards.
Chris's Team
It's entirely possible that Chris's Team could be a better GM in real football than in fantasy. With only six targets as a group this past week, their two wide receivers apparently spent most of their games running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
