Coach Talk

dave’s fatguys
Football is all about exploiting the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by doubling up Jersey Privates at the wide receiver position (58.7 points to 25.2).
Jersey Privates
It's entirely possible that Jersey Privates could be a better talent scout in real football than in fantasy. Accumulating just 14 targets as a group in Week 16, their four starting pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) apparently helped their teams' causes by running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
