Coach Talk

Mucus Revenge
The key to success in football is creating mismatches. Fueled by some monster yardage production from our running backs, our team certainly made that happen this week. Our three starting backs recorded 184 more total yards than the RBs of Swany's Sackers (287 yards from scrimmage to 103), and we wound up tripling them at the position (73.2 points to 22.6).
Swany's Sackers
There's a decent chance that Swany's Sackers would be a better GM in real football than in fantasy. Accumulating just eight total targets in Week 15, their three wide receivers apparently contributed primarily by blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
