Coach Talk

Beloglavi
Creating mismatches is a huge key to success in football. Not only did we double up Keeper Reapers at WR (32 points to 13), we also tripled them at RB (49 to 14).
Keeper Reapers
There's a decent chance that Keeper Reapers could be a better talent scout in real football than in fantasy. Accumulating only 11 total targets this past week, their three starting pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) apparently contributed to their respective offenses by running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
