Coach Talk

Sooners
Creating mismatches is a huge key to success in football. We really took that to heart this week by nearly tripling Lazy Laughing Lizard at the wide receiver position (55 points to 20).
Lazy Laughing Lizard
Hey, it's possible that Lazy Laughing Lizard might be a better GM in real football than in fantasy. Accumulating only 11 targets combined in Week 11, their four starting pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) apparently helped their teams' causes by running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
