Coach Talk

Dumpsters
Hey, this sport is all about exploiting the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by thoroughly outplaying Y3 at the wide receiver position (48.5 points to 5.3).
Y3
There's a possibility that Y3 might be a better talent scout in real football than in fantasy. With only 10 targets combined in Week 6, their three wide receivers apparently helped their teams' causes by blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
