Coach Talk

Half Chubb
Football is all about creating mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by doubling up Mixon Mixoff at the wide receiver position (24.4 points to 11.3).
Mixon Mixoff
It's entirely possible that Mixon Mixoff would be a better GM in real football than in fantasy. With only 12 targets combined in Week 15, their four starting pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) apparently did a superb job running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
