Coach Talk

The Eli Face
Hey, the key to football is finding the mismatches, right? Not only did we double up Caesar Saleh-d at QB (28.08 points to 13.1), we also doubled them at RB (30 to 13.5).
Caesar Saleh-d
It's entirely possible that Caesar Saleh-d would be a better talent scout in real football than in fantasy. With only 13 total targets this past week, their four starting pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) apparently contributed to their teams' offenses by running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
