Coach Talk
A Team Has No Name
The key to success in football is spotting (and exploiting) the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by thoroughly outplaying Manager-less Team at the wide receiver position (37.6 points to 5.2).
Manager-less Team
It's entirely possible that Manager-less Team may be a better GM in real football than in fantasy. Seeing only eight total targets in Week 5, their four wide receivers apparently helped their teams' causes by running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
