Coach Talk

Cocks
Hey, exploiting mismatches is the key to football, right? We really took that to heart this week by doubling up WarEagle at the wide receiver position (62.7 points to 29.6).
WarEagle
Hey, it's possible that WarEagle could be a better talent scout in the NFL than in fantasy football. Accumulating only 14 targets combined this past week, their five starting pass-catchers (four WR, one TE) apparently did a superb job running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
