Coach Talk

Las Vegas Raiders
Hey, football is all about creating mismatches, right? We really took that to heart this week by royally dominating Tampa Bay Buccaneers at the wide receiver position (80.9 points to 30.4).
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
It's entirely possible that Tampa Bay Buccaneers would be a better GM in the NFL than in fantasy football. With only 14 targets as a group in Week 10, their four wide receivers apparently spent the majority of their games blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
