Coach Talk

3X CHAMP
Football is all about creating mismatches. Thanks to stout performances by Christian McCaffrey and David Johnson, our team definitely made that a point of emphasis this past week. We utterly dominated Bought the D's at the running back position (46.1 points to 9.3). McCaffrey had 170 total yards and a TD, while Johnson logged 101 yards.
Bought the D's
Hey, it's possible that Bought the D's would be a better talent scout in real football than in fantasy. Accumulating just 13 total targets in Week 15, their four starting pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) apparently helped their teams' causes by running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
