Coach Talk

GigEmAgs
Football is all about creating mismatches. Not only did we double up Chicago Southsiderz at WR (37 points to 16.1), we also tripled them at RB (37.3 to 11.2).
Chicago Southsiderz
Hey, it's possible that Chicago Southsiderz would be a better GM in the NFL than in fantasy football. Accumulating just 14 total targets in Week 15, their four starting pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) apparently made the bulk of their contributions by running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
