Coach Talk

David's Dandy Team
Football is all about exploiting the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by tripling YOLO at the wide receiver position (60.6 points to 20.1).
YOLO
Well, we certainly can't complain about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) combined to see a respectable 20 targets in Week 4. Those players might need to spend more time with the JUGS machine, considering they hauled in just 10 receptions.
