Coach Talk

Banannaise
Football is all about creating mismatches. With some stellar yardage production from our running backs, our team certainly made that happen this week. Our three backfield starters recorded 277 more yards from scrimmage than the RBs on The Cereal Killers (447 total yards to 170), as we ultimately almost tripled them at the position, 79 points to 26.5.
The Cereal Killers
Well, The Cereal Killers, Week 15's problem was pretty easy to diagnose. Going with Vance McDonald in a tough fantasy matchup... let's just put this in the rear-view mirror and assume something like this won't be happening again?
