Coach Talk

Rebel Alliance
Creating mismatches is a big component to winning in football. We really took that to heart this week by doubling up Redlegs at the wide receiver position (40.8 points to 19.7).
Redlegs
It's entirely possible that Redlegs might be a better GM in the NFL than in fantasy football. With just 19 targets combined this past week, their five starting pass-catchers (four WR, one TE) apparently helped their teams' causes by blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
