Coach Talk

Not2Gurley
Spotting mismatches is a huge component to winning in football. Thanks to some monster yardage production from our running backs, our team created a big disparity this week. Our three starting backs tallied 128 more total yards than the RBs on Rebels (267 yards from scrimmage to 139), and we wound up utterly dominating them at the position (64 points to 10).
Rebels
The problem in Week 9 isn't exactly rocket science, Rebels. Choosing to start the Washington Redskins defense in a tough fantasy matchup... let's aim to play with a full deck of cards next time.
