Coach Talk

MoMoney
Spotting mismatches is a huge component to winning in football. We not only doubled up Ron Mexico at RB (32.2 points to 14.5), we also quadrupled them at QB (47.86 to 11.7).
Ron Mexico
It's entirely possible that Ron Mexico may be a better GM in real football than in fantasy. Accumulating only four total targets this past week, their two wide receivers apparently contributed to their respective offenses by running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
