Coach Talk

Riverboat Redskins
A big key to success in football is identifying (and exploiting) the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by utterly dominating Vitor Kenji's Team at the wide receiver position (147.52 points to 8).
Vitor Kenji's Team
There's a decent chance that Vitor Kenji's Team may be a better GM in the NFL than in fantasy football. Seeing just two targets as a group this past week, their five wide receivers apparently contributed to their respective offenses by running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
