Coach Talk

Tayda's Tots
Hey, this sport is all about creating mismatches, right? Fueled by solid production from the backfield, our team definitely made that a point of emphasis this past week. We tripled Pop's up at the running back spot (31 points to 9). Christian McCaffrey (188 total yards and a TD) did most of the heavy lifting, while Royce Freeman chipped in with 73 yards.
Pop's
Whoa now, talk about under-utilized: As a group, the starting RBs for Pop's collectively logged just one single target this past week. Instruct those offensive coordinators to dial up a screen play or two in Week 4!
