Coach Talk

Griddy King
Hey, exploiting mismatches is the key to football, right? We really took that to heart this week by utterly dominating James's Unmatched Team at the wide receiver position (33.46 points to 9).
James's Unmatched Team
Hey, it's possible that James's Unmatched Team may be a better GM in the NFL than in fantasy football. Seeing just 10 total targets this past week, their three wide receivers apparently helped their teams' causes by blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
