Coach Talk

Jags paid too much for Kirk
A big key to success in football is spotting the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by thoroughly outplaying Gold guided gladiators at the wide receiver position (45.3 points to 5.5).
Gold guided gladiators
It's entirely possible that Gold guided gladiators could be a better GM in real football than in fantasy. Accumulating only seven total targets this past week, their four starting pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) apparently contributed to their respective offenses by blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
