Coach Talk

Fourth & Inches
Spotting mismatches is a huge key to success in football. Fueled by some stellar yardage production from our ball-carriers, our team certainly made that happen this week. Our three backfield starters recorded 207 more total yards than the RBs on Cool Guy Zone (271 yards from scrimmage to 64), and we ended up thoroughly dominating them at the position, 47.1 points to 7.4.
Cool Guy Zone
There's a chance that Cool Guy Zone might be a better talent scout in the NFL than in fantasy football. Seeing just six targets combined this past week, their three wide receivers apparently helped their teams' causes by blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
