Coach Talk

Game of Jones
Hey, football is all about spotting (and then exploiting) the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by doubling up Happy Golladays at the wide receiver position (69.5 points to 31.9).
Happy Golladays
There's a possibility that Happy Golladays may be a better GM in the NFL than in fantasy football. Accumulating just 19 targets as a group this past week, their five starting pass-catchers (four WR, one TE) apparently did a superb job running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
