Coach Talk

The Minor Prophets
This sport is all about creating mismatches. Thanks to stout performances by Saquon Barkley and Doug Martin, our team made that a point of emphasis this past week. We doubled Ben's Besties up at running back (25.3 points to 10.7). Barkley had 146 total yards while Martin logged 67 yards.
Ben's Besties
Welp, we can't really complain about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) were targeted a respectable 30 times in Week 13. Timing and chemistry seem to be issues as that group reeled in only 17 receptions.
