Coach Talk

Evil Clowns
Hey, this sport is all about taking advantage of the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by tripling Disnerds at the wide receiver position (32.6 points to 10.7).
Disnerds
There's a decent chance that Disnerds may be a better talent scout in real football than in fantasy. Seeing just nine targets as a group in Week 15, their three wide receivers apparently spent most of their games blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
