Coach Talk

Dick Buttkiss
Football is all about exploiting the mismatches. Our team took that to heart this past week and literally tripled Drunkin Soldiers at the quarterback position (22.9 points to 6.68).
Drunkin Soldiers
It's entirely possible that Drunkin Soldiers could be a better GM in real football than in fantasy. With just 14 total targets in Week 16, their four starting pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) apparently contributed primarily by running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
