Coach Talk

Saddlers
Hey, this sport is all about creating mismatches, right? We really took that to heart this week by nearly tripling Citrus Coolers at the wide receiver position (23.2 points to 8).
Citrus Coolers
There's a distinct possibility that Citrus Coolers could be a better GM in real football than in fantasy. Seeing only seven total targets in Week 11, their three wide receivers apparently made the bulk of their contributions by running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
