Coach Talk

My New Cheesecloth
A big key to success in football is creating mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by quadrupling The Nuts at the wide receiver position (74.8 points to 17.6).
The Nuts
There's a real possibility that The Nuts could be a better talent scout in the NFL than in fantasy football. With only 18 total targets in Week 12, their four wide receivers apparently contributed primarily by blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
