Coach Talk

Lazy Laughing Lizard
A big key to success in football is exploiting the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by quadrupling ROCK-n-REDRAIDERS at the wide receiver position (50 points to 11.5).
ROCK-n-REDRAIDERS
There's a distinct possibility that ROCK-n-REDRAIDERS may be a better GM in real football than in fantasy. With only six targets as a group in Week 16, their four starting pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) apparently made most of their contributions by running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
