Coach Talk

Dead Again
Football is all about creating mismatches. Thanks to some stellar yardage production from our ball-carriers, our team created a noticeable disparity this week. Our three starting backs put up 93 more total yards than the RBs on DominationStation (270 yards from scrimmage to 177), and we wound up doubling up them at the position, 47 points to 21.75.
DominationStation
Yo, DominationStation, what did your wideouts do to get written out of their teams' game plans this week? With only 10 total targets in Week 15, our three wide receivers clearly got on the bad side of their respective QBs.
