Coach Talk

FtheRefs
Hey, this sport is all about taking advantage of the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by thoroughly outplaying Blade Executioner at the wide receiver position (28.4 points to 3.15).
Blade Executioner
It's entirely possible that Blade Executioner may be a better talent scout in the NFL than in fantasy football. Accumulating only 13 total targets in Week 15, their three wide receivers apparently made most of their contributions by blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
