Coach Talk

Amir's Awesome Team
Football is all about taking advantage of the mismatches. Fueled by some stellar yardage production from our ball-carriers, our team really made that happen this week. Our three backfield starters logged 101 more total yards than the RBs of NY/NJ Connection (219 yards from scrimmage to 118), and we ended up thoroughly dominating them at the position, 73 points to 27.5.
NY/NJ Connection
Well, NY/NJ Connection, this week's problem is pretty easy to spot. Starting Adam Thielen in a fantasy matchup where your opposition tallied over 228 points... let's all just put this behind us and move on?
