Coach Talk

S.R.911
Hey, the key to football is spotting the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by quadrupling Sonokawa at the wide receiver position (37.3 points to 8.7).
Sonokawa
There's a chance that Sonokawa may be a better GM in real football than in fantasy. With just 11 total targets in Week 14, their three starting pass-catchers (three WR, zero TE) apparently did a superb job blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
