Coach Talk

Bad Beats
Spotting mismatches is a huge component to winning in football. We not only dominated He hate me at QB (38.72 points to 14.42), we also quadrupled them at WR (51.7 to 12.3).
He hate me
It's entirely possible that He hate me could be a better talent scout in the NFL than in fantasy football. Seeing only 12 targets as a group in Week 15, their five starting pass-catchers (four WR, one TE) apparently helped their teams' causes by running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
