Coach Talk

Tyler's Tip-Top Team
Hey, finding mismatches is the key to football, right? We really took that to heart this week by tripling jeff's Team at the wide receiver position (27.7 points to 8.4).
jeff's Team
It's entirely possible that jeff's Team might be a better GM in the NFL than in fantasy football. With just five total targets in Week 16, their two wide receivers apparently spent the majority of their games running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
