Coach Talk

Rabbit King
Hey, the key to football is finding the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by tripling Jimbo's Expert Team at the wide receiver position (97.71 points to 31.21).
Jimbo's Expert Team
There's a distinct possibility that Jimbo's Expert Team may be a better talent scout in real football than in fantasy. Seeing just 29 targets combined this past week, their eight starting pass-catchers (six WR, two TE) apparently did a superb job blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
