Coach Talk

chicago bears
You know, football is all about taking advantage of the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by quadrupling Boss 15 at the wide receiver position (51.4 points to 11.9).
Boss 15
It's entirely possible that Boss 15 would be a better GM in the NFL than in fantasy football. Accumulating only nine total targets this past week, their three wide receivers apparently contributed primarily by blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
