Coach Talk

Silver & Black
You know, the key to football is taking advantage of the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by doubling up Underground Kings at the wide receiver position (48.5 points to 20.5).
Underground Kings
Hey, it's possible that Underground Kings could be a better GM in real football than in fantasy. Accumulating just nine total targets in Week 15, their three wide receivers apparently did a superb job blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
