Coach Talk

Gashouse
Hey, this sport is all about exploiting the mismatches. Along with dominating Dad Went For Cigs at QB (44.9 points to 12.38), we also royally dominated them at WR (53.9 to 9.1).
Dad Went For Cigs
Hey, it's possible that Dad Went For Cigs would be a better GM in the NFL than in fantasy football. Accumulating only 15 total targets in Week 1, their four starting pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) apparently did a superb job running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
