Coach Talk

yaoge221
Hey, the key to football is creating mismatches, right? We really took that to heart this week by almost tripling Hench at the wide receiver position (54.3 points to 19.7).
Hench
It's entirely possible that Hench could be a better GM in real football than in fantasy. Accumulating only 10 targets combined this past week, their four starting pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) apparently spent most of their games blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
