Coach Talk

Run CmC
Hey, finding mismatches is the key to football, right? Case in point: we made that a point of emphasis by nearly tripling CANES MAN at running back this past week (40 points to 13.5).
CANES MAN
Hey, it's possible that CANES MAN may be a better GM in real football than in fantasy. Accumulating just 16 targets combined this past week, their four starting pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) apparently contributed primarily by running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
