Coach Talk

Grid Iron Man
You know, this sport is all about spotting (and then exploiting) the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by nearly tripling Chubbernaut at the wide receiver position (56.82 points to 19.4).
Chubbernaut
Talk about under-utilized. As a group, the starting backfield for Chubbernaut collectively logged zero catch on just one target this past week. Tell those offensive coordinators to dial up a screen play or two in Week 6!
