Coach Talk

Manager-less Team
This sport is all about exploiting the mismatches. In addition to tripling BeastMode Training at QB (43.6 points to 13.82), we also thoroughly dominated them at WR (38.1 to 5.2).
BeastMode Training
Hey, it's possible that BeastMode Training might be a better GM in real football than in fantasy. With only 11 targets combined this past week, their four wide receivers apparently made most of their contributions by blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
