Coach Talk

NoFatChicks
Hey, creating mismatches is the key to football, right? We really took that to heart this week by quadrupling MoFoS at the wide receiver position (46.6 points to 10.5).
MoFoS
It's entirely possible that MoFoS may be a better GM in real football than in fantasy. With just eight targets combined this past week, their three wide receivers apparently helped their teams' causes by blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
