Coach Talk

Show us your TDs
Hey, the key to football is creating mismatches, right? We really took that to heart this week by thoroughly dominating No YOU'RE the puppet at the wide receiver position (44.6 points to 6).
No YOU'RE the puppet
There's a distinct possibility that No YOU'RE the puppet might be a better GM in the NFL than in fantasy football. With just 10 total targets this past week, their four starting pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) apparently contributed primarily by blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
