Coach Talk

S.R.911
This sport is all about creating mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by thoroughly dominating lawrence's Team at the wide receiver position (32.2 points to 3.6).
lawrence's Team
It's entirely possible that lawrence's Team might be a better talent scout in real football than in fantasy. Seeing only six total targets this past week, their three wide receivers apparently made the bulk of their contributions by blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
