Coach Talk

Roadhouse Rebels
Hey, we'll definitely take the win, Roadhouse Rebels! Having said that, if we want to take our performance to the next level, then here's one area where we can improve. Our quarterback was thoroughly outplayed by the opposition. Dak Prescott went 27-of-44 for 463 yards and two touchdowns for yard crew, and all Aaron Rodgers could manage was a 22-for-34 outing for 238 passing yards. Let's put some more effort into scouting those upcoming defenses!
yard crew
There's a real chance that yard crew could be a better GM in real football than in fantasy. Accumulating only 15 targets combined in Week 5, their four starting pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) apparently made most of their contributions by running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
