Coach Talk

SPACEGOAT
Hey, finding mismatches is the key to football, right? Fueled by some monster yardage production from our running backs, our team created a noticeable disparity this week. Our three starting backs logged 140 more yards from scrimmage than the RBs on Nancy's Nana (326 total yards to 186), and we ended up doubling up them at the position, 44.6 points to 20.6.
Nancy's Nana
Fortunately, Nancy's Nana, Week 9's problem isn't exactly advanced calculus. Starting the Washington Redskins defense in a tough fantasy matchup... we'll all move on from this and assume something like this won't be happening again.
