Coach Talk

Get Ur Notebooks Out
A big key to success in football is creating mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by quadrupling Dee's Wonderful Team at the wide receiver position (45.7 points to 10.9).
Dee's Wonderful Team
It's entirely possible that Dee's Wonderful Team would be a better talent scout in real football than in fantasy. Accumulating only eight targets as a group in Week 1, their three wide receivers apparently did a superb job blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
