Coach Talk

Glazeside Miner$ PMP
This sport is all about taking advantage of the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by doubling up Michael's Team at the wide receiver position (45.1 points to 20.5).
Michael's Team
The problem in Week 15 was pretty easy to diagnose, Michael's Team. Going with the San Francisco 49ers defense and Ezekiel Elliott in a tough fantasy matchup... we'll all just put this in the rear-view mirror and assume it's not going to happen again?
