Coach Talk

Jr’s season
Hey, the key to football is exploiting the mismatches, right? Thanks to stellar outings by Tyler Boyd and George Pickens, our team really took that to heart this past week. We utterly dominated Ricky Bobby Jr. at wide receiver (14.8 points to 5.5). Boyd had 35 receiving yards while Pickens chipped in with 53 yards.
Ricky Bobby Jr.
It's entirely possible that Ricky Bobby Jr. could be a better GM in real football than in fantasy. With only nine targets combined in Week 15, their three starting pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) apparently contributed primarily by blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
