Coach Talk

tardy perch
You know, football is all about exploiting the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by royally dominating Donald's Team at the wide receiver position (121.35 points to 48.13).
Donald's Team
Hey, it's possible that Donald's Team might be a better GM in the NFL than in fantasy football. Accumulating just 17 total targets in Week 1, their five starting pass-catchers (four WR, one TE) apparently did a superb job blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
