Coach Talk

Stacey's Slam-Dunk Team
Hey, exploiting mismatches is the key to football, right? We really took that to heart this week by nearly quadrupling Mike's Team at the wide receiver position (69.6 points to 18.05).
Mike's Team
It's entirely possible that Mike's Team may be a better GM in real football than in fantasy. Seeing only 15 total targets in Week 5, their five wide receivers apparently helped their teams' causes by running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
