Coach Talk

Fool's Gould
Hey, this sport is all about exploiting the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by doubling up Gibson’s Finest at the wide receiver position (48.5 points to 22.5).
Gibson’s Finest
Unless Gibson’s Finest wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting many chances" can't be an excuse this week. Our five pass-catchers (four WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 40 times in Week 7. Those players should try to get some extra practice reps in with their QBs, considering they tallied only 20 receptions.
