Coach Talk

BallGrabbers
Hey, this sport is all about exploiting the mismatches. We not only doubled up JYD at QB (29.32 points to 12.2), we also tripled them at WR (48.3 to 16.02).
JYD
It's entirely possible that JYD would be a better GM in real football than in fantasy. Seeing only 15 total targets this past week, their four starting pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) apparently spent most of their games blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
