Coach Talk

The Clan's Team
You know, the key to football is taking advantage of the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by almost tripling EL HEFE at the wide receiver position (47.14 points to 17).
EL HEFE
It's entirely possible that EL HEFE could be a better GM in the NFL than in fantasy football. Seeing just eight targets combined in Week 15, their four starting pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) apparently spent the majority of their games running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
