Coach Talk

Going Nowhere Slow
Identifying mismatches is a big key to success in football. Fueled by some stellar yardage production from our running backs, our team created a big disparity this week. Our three backfield starters tallied 173 more total yards than the RBs on Finkle & Einhorn (219 yards from scrimmage to only 46), and we wound up nearly tripling them at the position (31.9 points to 11.6).
Finkle & Einhorn
Hey, it's possible that Finkle & Einhorn may be a better talent scout in real football than in fantasy. Seeing only 16 targets as a group this past week, their four starting pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) apparently helped their teams' causes by running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
