Coach Talk

the last dance
Football is all about exploiting the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by doubling up The Firing Squad at the wide receiver position (49.2 points to 24.2).
The Firing Squad
Welp, we can't really complain about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) collectively received a grand total of 27 targets in Week 4. Those players might need to hit the practice field, considering they tallied just 12 receptions.
