Coach Talk

MrAwesome'sMoMo's
You know, this sport is all about exploiting the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by almost tripling FantasyFootballTeam at the wide receiver position (70.6 points to 24.6).
FantasyFootballTeam
FantasyFootballTeam will find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunities this past week. Our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) were targeted a hearty 25 times in Week 16. Chemistry could be the primary problem, as that group managed just 15 catches.
