Coach Talk

Raymond's Team
Hey, creating mismatches is the key to football, right? We really took that to heart this week by thoroughly outplaying A_Jay at the wide receiver position (74.8 points to 27.8).
A_Jay
There's a chance that A_Jay would be a better GM in the NFL than in fantasy football. Seeing only 11 targets combined in Week 12, their three wide receivers apparently did a superb job running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
