Coach Talk

Ratdogs
Creating mismatches is a huge key to success in football. With stellar performances by Todd Gurley II and Alvin Kamara, our crew definitely took that to heart this past week. We tripled Riverside Rams up at the running back position (26.7 points to 7.7). Gurley II had 38 total yards and two TDs, while Kamara chipped in with 89 yards.
Riverside Rams
The problem in Week 15 isn't exactly rocket science, Riverside Rams. Going with Hunter Henry in a fantasy matchup where your opponent tallied almost 111 points... let's aim to move forward with a full deck of cards next time.
