Coach Talk

NORSEMEN
Sure, we ultimately got the win, but there's really no way sugarcoat this, NORSEMEN: our starting running backs were soundly outclassed this past week. Frank Gore (14 yards from scrimmage, no TDs) and Nyheim Hines (64 yards, no TDs) combined for just 10 points in Week 15. Ezekiel Elliott and Derrick Henry showed us up by recording a score of 57. We need to bounce back with a big statement in Week 16!
Warriors
Fortunately, Warriors, this week's problem isn't exactly rocket science. Going with Keenan Allen and Kenny Clark in a fantasy matchup where your opponent tallied 210.5 points... let's all put this behind us and move on?
