Coach Talk

Racer X
Spotting mismatches is a big key to success in football. We really took that to heart this week by soundly outplaying The Eric Hipples at the wide receiver position (33.3 points to 12.55).
The Eric Hipples
Hey, it's possible that The Eric Hipples would be a better talent scout in real football than in fantasy. Seeing just 16 total targets in Week 14, their four starting pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) apparently helped their teams' causes by blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
