Coach Talk

Losers that sometimes win.
Creating mismatches is a big key to success in football. We really took that to heart this week by tripling GO STEELERS!!!!! 🖤💛 at the wide receiver position (75 points to 23).
GO STEELERS!!!!! 🖤💛
Hey, it's possible that GO STEELERS!!!!! 🖤💛 might be a better GM in real football than in fantasy. Seeing only 14 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.
