Coach Talk

The Cardiac Comeback
Creating mismatches is a big component to winning in football. Our squad took that to heart this past week and royally dominated Arizona Mini Teeth at the quarterback position (25 points to 5).
Arizona Mini Teeth
It's entirely possible that Arizona Mini Teeth would be a better talent scout in real football than in fantasy. Seeing only 16 total targets this past week, their four starting pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) apparently helped their teams' causes by running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
