Coach Talk

Shea Faced
Hey, football is all about creating mismatches, right? Thanks to some stellar yardage production from our running backs, our team created a noticeable disparity this week. Our backfield recorded 111 more total yards than the RBs on The Nuts (148 yards from scrimmage to just 37), and we wound up quadrupling them at the position, 22.8 points to 5.7.
The Nuts
Luckily, Week 15's problem isn't exactly rocket science, The Nuts. Going with Spencer Ware and LeSean McCoy in a tough fantasy matchup... let's attempt to play with a full deck of cards next time.
