Coach Talk

Golladay Inn
This sport is all about creating mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by almost tripling Dustin's Team at the wide receiver position (42.6 points to 15.1).
Dustin's Team
With just a couple of receptions on five targets this past week, the starting running backs for Dustin's Team should investigate why their quarterbacks are giving them the cold shoulder.
