Coach Talk

El Jefes
Creating mismatches is a huge key to success in football. We not only dominated Zieser's Pleazers at RB (44.4 points to 16.2), we also royally dominated them at WR (62.8 to 7.4).
Zieser's Pleazers
Hey, it's possible that Zieser's Pleazers might be a better GM in real football than in fantasy. Seeing only eight targets combined in Week 10, their two wide receivers apparently contributed to their teams' offenses by blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
