Coach Talk

Sooners
Hey, this sport is all about spotting and exploiting the mismatches. Thanks to solid performances by Alvin Kamara and Nick Chubb, our team made that a point of emphasis this past week. We almost tripled What?! at running back (34 points to 12). Kamara had 87 yards from scrimmage while Chubb logged 83 yards.
What?!
It's entirely possible that What?! might be a better GM in real football than in fantasy. Accumulating only seven total targets this past week, their three wide receivers apparently helped their teams' causes by running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
