Coach Talk

DrewisHotSauce
A big key to success in football is creating mismatches. Thanks to solid performances by Latavius Murray and Leonard Fournette, our team certainly took that to heart this past week. We royally dominated WhiteBoy at running back (53 points to 20.7). Murray had 150 total yards and two TDs, while Fournette chipped in with 145 yards.
WhiteBoy
It's entirely possible that WhiteBoy could be a better GM in real football than in fantasy. Seeing only 11 targets as a group this past week, their four wide receivers apparently did a superb job blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
