Coach Talk

WhiteBoy
This sport is all about finding the mismatches. Fueled by some stellar yardage production from our running backs, our team created a big disparity this week. Our three starting backs put up 253 more yards from scrimmage than the RBs on Beast_Mode (385 total yards to 132), as we ultimately royally dominated them at the position, 65 points to 25.2.
Beast_Mode
While it is that spooky time of the year, we'd prefer to see fewer tricks and more treats from your fantasy squad, Beast_Mode... 142.81 points was just a bit too ghoulish for our liking.
