Coach Talk

Abigail's Team
Hey, this sport is all about creating mismatches, right? We really took that to heart this week by doubling up louis's Team at the wide receiver position (44.6 points to 22.3).
louis's Team
Well, we certainly can't gripe about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) collectively got a grand total of 26 targets in Week 3. Those players might need to get some extra reps with the JUGS machine, considering they pulled down just 16 catches.
