Coach Talk

The Devils
Football is all about creating mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by almost tripling FANTASY GURU at the wide receiver position (114.68 points to 41.58).
FANTASY GURU
Welp, we can't really complain about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our six pass-catchers (five WR and one TE) were targeted a respectable 38 times in Week 15. With just 21 total receptions, that group may have some chemistry issues.
