Coach Talk

Mermen
A big key to success in football is creating mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by doubling up The Sacko's at the wide receiver position (64.9 points to 26.9).
The Sacko's
Welp, we can't really complain about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? Our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) collectively got a respectable 24 targets in Week 2. With just 13 total catches, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
