Coach Talk

Boston Hoodies
The key to success in football is finding the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by tripling Grand Ramblin' Wreck at the wide receiver position (36.42 points to 12.1).
Grand Ramblin' Wreck
It's entirely possible that Grand Ramblin' Wreck could be a better GM in the NFL than in fantasy football. Accumulating only 16 total targets in Week 13, their four starting pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) apparently spent the majority of their games running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
