Coach Talk

Comeback Kid
Creating mismatches is a huge key to success in football. We really took that to heart this week by nearly tripling No Respect at the wide receiver position (53.1 points to 18).
No Respect
It's entirely possible that No Respect would be a better talent scout in the NFL than in fantasy football. With only 11 targets combined this past week, their three wide receivers apparently helped their teams' causes by blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
