Coach Talk

FromTEtoWR
Hey, creating mismatches is the key to football, right? Fueled by stellar numbers from our receiving corps, our team really took that to heart this past week. We quadrupled VOL NATION at wide receiver (34 points to 8.2). DeAndre Hopkins had 170 receiving yards and two TDs while Michael Crabtree logged zero yards.
VOL NATION
Hey, it's possible that VOL NATION could be a better talent scout in real football than in fantasy. With just 10 targets as a group in Week 15, their three starting pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) apparently helped their teams' causes by running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
