Coach Talk

Aussig Ravens
A big key to success in football is creating mismatches. We not only doubled up Hrustin Cowboys at RB (33.2 points to 15.4), we also tripled them at QB (34.4 to 9.9).
Hrustin Cowboys
It's entirely possible that Hrustin Cowboys could be a better GM in real football than in fantasy. Seeing only 14 targets as a group this past week, their four starting pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) apparently made most of their contributions by blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
