Coach Talk

Die Happy
This sport is all about taking advantage of the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by quadrupling A Michael's Team at the wide receiver position (22.5 points to 5.1).
A Michael's Team
Ugh, talk about under-utilized: As a group, the starting RBs for A Michael's Team collectively logged three catches on just four targets this past week. Tell those quarterbacks to dump it down a little more often in Week 16!
