Coach Talk

KC Warpaint
Identifying mismatches is a big component to winning in football. Case in point: we really took that to heart by thoroughly dominating Brad's Team at running back this past week (1,052 points to 396).
Brad's Team
It's entirely possible that Brad's Team would be a better talent scout in the NFL than in fantasy football. Accumulating only 10 targets as a group in Week 6, their four starting pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) apparently spent most of their games running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
