Coach Talk

Annandale Atom Bombs
Creating mismatches is a big component to winning in football. We really took that to heart this week by tripling Millers Lock at the wide receiver position (59.41 points to 17.21).
Millers Lock
It's entirely possible that Millers Lock might be a better GM in real football than in fantasy. Accumulating only 16 total targets in Week 14, their four starting pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) apparently did a superb job blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
