Coach Talk

RollTide88
Hey, football is all about exploiting the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by almost tripling Eponas at the wide receiver position (29 points to 10.3).
Eponas
It's entirely possible that Eponas may be a better GM in the NFL than in fantasy football. With only 16 total targets in Week 15, their four starting pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) apparently contributed to their respective offenses by blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
