Coach Talk

Mixon It Up
Creating mismatches is a big key to success in football. Case in point: we really took that to heart by doubling up Manthigh te'o at running back this past week (41.6 points to 20.1).
Manthigh te'o
Hey, it's possible that Manthigh te'o could be a better GM in real football than in fantasy. With just two targets combined in Week 5, their two wide receivers apparently made most of their contributions by running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
