Coach Talk

Desert Eagles
Creating mismatches is a huge key to success in football. Not only did we almost triple Keeper Reapers at QB (46 points to 16), we also royally dominated them at WR (40 to 8).
Keeper Reapers
Unless Keeper Reapers wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing enough opportunities" is definitely not an excuse this week. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 26 times in Week 10. Those players might need to hit the practice field, considering they managed just 13 receptions.
