Coach Talk

Wayne's World
Hey, the key to football is taking advantage of the mismatches, right? Along with doubling up SPARTICUS at RB (45.2 points to 19.6), we also quadrupled them at WR (44 to 10.3).
SPARTICUS
Hey, it's possible that SPARTICUS could be a better talent scout in real football than in fantasy. Seeing just 13 total targets this past week, their four starting pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) apparently spent the majority of their games blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
