Coach Talk

Tomb Raiders
Football is all about creating mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by thoroughly outplaying Robbywood Staffords at the wide receiver position (42.9 points to 17).
Robbywood Staffords
It's entirely possible that Robbywood Staffords would be a better GM in the NFL than in fantasy football. Accumulating just 12 targets as a group in Week 16, their three starting pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) apparently made most of their contributions by blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
