Coach Talk

FREE FANTASY SUCKS
A big key to success in football is taking advantage of the mismatches. Thanks to good numbers from our ball-carriers, our team certainly took that to heart this past week. We almost quadrupled brenda's Team at running back (30.7 points to 7.9). Todd Gurley II (124 total yards and two TDs) did most of the damage, while Royce Freeman chipped in with eight yards.
brenda's Team
Well, we can't really whine about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 21 times in Week 15. Those players should spend extra practice time working with their QBs, considering they tallied just 11 catches.
