Coach Talk

Night Hawk
You know, football is all about exploiting the mismatches. Our squad found one this past week and literally doubled up Naked Bootlegs at the quarterback position (66.15 points to 30).
Naked Bootlegs
It's entirely possible that Naked Bootlegs might be a better talent scout in the NFL than in fantasy football. Accumulating only 11 total targets this past week, their four starting pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) apparently helped their teams' causes by running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
