Coach Talk

ClemmonsSteelers2
You know, football is all about taking advantage of the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by utterly dominating Hits & Grins at the wide receiver position (55.9 points to 6.2).
Hits & Grins
Hey, it's possible that Hits & Grins might be a better talent scout in real football than in fantasy. Accumulating only six total targets this past week, their three wide receivers apparently helped their teams' causes by blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
