Coach Talk

Eric's Expert Team
Hey, this sport is all about spotting (and then exploiting) the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by tripling Australian Kiss at the wide receiver position (66.5 points to 19.3).
Australian Kiss
"Not seeing enough looks" really isn't an excuse this week for Australian Kiss. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) combined to see a hearty 27 targets in Week 13. With just 16 total catches, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
