Coach Talk

Mulheim Machine
Spotting mismatches is a big key to success in football. Our team found one this past week and doubled up Mezdra Vikings at the quarterback position (61.3 points to 25.62).
Mezdra Vikings
Hey, it's possible that Mezdra Vikings may be a better talent scout in real football than in fantasy. Accumulating just eight targets combined this past week, their three starting pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) apparently made most of their contributions by blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
