Coach Talk

Elijah's Excellent Team
Hey, the key to football is spotting the mismatches. Our squad took that to heart this past week and literally tripled Jaren beat me at the quarterback position (28.9 points to 9.37).
Jaren beat me
It's entirely possible that Jaren beat me may be a better GM in real football than in fantasy. Seeing just 12 total targets this past week, their four wide receivers apparently made most of their contributions by running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
