Coach Talk

Top Gun Maverick
The key to success in football is finding the mismatches. Our team took that to heart this past week and literally doubled up timmy's Fascinating Team at the quarterback position (28.98 points to 13.34).
timmy's Fascinating Team
There's a real chance that timmy's Fascinating Team would be a better talent scout in real football than in fantasy. With only two total targets in Week 16, their three wide receivers apparently spent most of their games blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
