Coach Talk

Necdet's Nice Team
Hey, finding mismatches is the key to football, right? We made that a point of emphasis by doubling up BASE's Team at running back this past week (46.9 points to 19.8).
BASE's Team
There's a chance that BASE's Team may be a better talent scout in real football than in fantasy. Seeing just 11 targets as a group this past week, their three starting pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) apparently made most of their contributions by blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
