Coach Talk

Six Footers
Football is all about exploiting the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by thoroughly outplaying James's Out-of-Sight Team at the wide receiver position (38 points to 14).
James's Out-of-Sight Team
There's a real chance that James's Out-of-Sight Team might be a better talent scout in the NFL than in fantasy football. Accumulating only 16 targets combined this past week, their five starting pass-catchers (four WR, one TE) apparently spent most of their games running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
