Coach Talk

budapest bulliess
You know, this sport is all about finding the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by thoroughly dominating bunkstraps at the wide receiver position (23 points to 9).
bunkstraps
There's a real chance that bunkstraps might be a better talent scout in real football than in fantasy. Accumulating just 10 total targets this past week, their three starting pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) apparently spent the majority of their games blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
