Coach Talk

LambeauLeapers
A big key to success in football is taking advantage of the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by tripling Splintered at the wide receiver position (30 points to 9).
Splintered
It's entirely possible that Splintered may be a better GM in real football than in fantasy. Seeing only six targets combined in Week 9, their three wide receivers apparently helped their teams' causes by running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
