Coach Talk

Miami Dolphins
Only three field goals on five attempts? It's quite possible that Joey Slye just kicked himself to the waiver wire after this effort.
Washington Redskins
Hey, it's possible that Washington Redskins could be a better GM in real football than in fantasy. With just 10 targets as a group in Week 6, their five wide receivers apparently helped their teams' causes by running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
