Coach Talk

mike's Expert Team
Hey, football is all about exploiting the mismatches. Fueled by solid performances by Kareem Hunt and Christian McCaffrey, our crew definitely made that a point of emphasis this past week. We absolutely dominated carson's Team at running back (62.8 points to 13.2). Hunt had 141 total yards and three TDs, while McCaffrey logged 157 yards and two scores.
carson's Team
Logging four receptions on just five targets this past week, it seems like the starting RBs for carson's Team clearly need to smooth things over with their QBs... and remind them to start checking down more often.
