Coach Talk

Chubby Kupp
You know, the key to football is exploiting the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by doubling up Justin's Rad Team at the wide receiver position (63.2 points to 29.7).
Justin's Rad Team
There's a possibility that Justin's Rad Team may be a better talent scout in real football than in fantasy. Seeing just 17 total targets in Week 9, their five starting pass-catchers (four WR, one TE) apparently did a superb job blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
