Coach Talk

What?!
Identifying mismatches is a big component to winning in football. Not only did we quadruple ROCK-n-REDRAIDERS at RB (44 points to 10.5), we also royally dominated them at WR (34.5 to 7.5).
ROCK-n-REDRAIDERS
Hey, it's possible that ROCK-n-REDRAIDERS would be a better GM in real football than in fantasy. With just 12 total targets in Week 16, their four starting pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) apparently spent the majority of their games running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
