Coach Talk

Green and White
You know, football is all about taking advantage of the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by utterly dominating Carl's Crew at the wide receiver position (46.1 points to 3.4).
Carl's Crew
Hey, it's possible that Carl's Crew would be a better GM in real football than in fantasy. Seeing just two total targets this past week, their three wide receivers apparently made most of their contributions by running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
