Coach Talk

Vikes #1
A big key to success in football is finding the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by doubling up The SHÖCKERS at the wide receiver position (38.6 points to 15.8).
The SHÖCKERS
Hey, it's possible that The SHÖCKERS would be a better GM in real football than in fantasy. Accumulating just 11 targets as a group in Week 15, their four wide receivers apparently spent most of their games running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
