Coach Talk

TheMuffinStuffers
Creating mismatches is a big key to success in football. We really took that to heart this week by quadrupling Ligers at the wide receiver position (84 points to 19).
Ligers
It's entirely possible that Ligers could be a better talent scout in the NFL than in fantasy football. Seeing just 20 targets combined this past week, their five starting pass-catchers (four WR, one TE) apparently helped their teams' causes by running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
