Coach Talk

Hoodsta 2
Hey, football is all about creating mismatches, right? We really took that to heart this week by thoroughly outplaying Ralph's Reasonable Team at the wide receiver position (39.8 points to 8.7).

Welp, we can't really gripe about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (two WR, one TE) were targeted a hearty 18 times in Week 5. Those players might need to get some extra reps with the JUGS machine, considering they managed just 10 receptions.
