Coach Talk

KO2
The key to success in football is creating mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by doubling up Green Machine at the wide receiver position (51.8 points to 25.1).
Green Machine
Hey, it's possible that Green Machine may be a better GM in the NFL than in fantasy football. Seeing only 11 targets as a group this past week, their three starting pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) apparently did a superb job running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
