Coach Talk

CircleTheWagons
Spotting mismatches is a big component to winning in football. We really took that to heart this week by tripling CHEEZO🐉HANY 🐲 at the wide receiver position (44 points to 13).
CHEEZO🐉HANY 🐲
There's a possibility that CHEEZO🐉HANY 🐲 might be a better talent scout in the NFL than in fantasy football. With only 11 total targets in Week 16, their four starting pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) apparently helped their teams' causes by blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
