Coach Talk

Horn Hi Yo
Creating mismatches is a big key to success in football. Fueled by stellar performances by Alvin Kamara and Kenyan Drake, our team certainly took that to heart this past week. We absolutely dominated los Diablos at the running back position (35.86 points to 5.1). Kamara had 87 total yards while Drake logged 79 yards.
los Diablos
There's a real chance that los Diablos would be a better GM in real football than in fantasy. Accumulating only 13 targets combined in Week 14, their four wide receivers apparently made most of their contributions by running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
