Coach Talk

Purple pride
Hey, the key to football is creating mismatches, right? We really took that to heart this week by nearly tripling Milan's Team at the wide receiver position (25.01 points to 9.01).
Milan's Team
Hey, it's possible that Milan's Team could be a better GM in real football than in fantasy. With just 14 total targets in Week 16, their four starting pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) apparently made the bulk of their contributions by running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
