Coach Talk

The Dirty Hippies
Hey, this sport is all about spotting the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by doubling up Big Smoke's Team at the wide receiver position (78.6 points to 39.2).
Big Smoke's Team
Ugh, talk about under-utilized: As a group, the starting backfield for Big Smoke's Team collectively recorded three catches on just four targets this past week. Tell those quarterbacks to dump it down a little more often in Week 7!
