Coach Talk

Jesus's Tip-Top Team
You know, football is all about spotting and exploiting the mismatches. Thanks to stout performances by Aaron Jones and Christian McCaffrey, our squad made that a point of emphasis this past week. We doubled richard's Swag Team up at the running back position (47.2 points to 20.1). Jones had 192 total yards and a TD, while McCaffrey chipped in with 135 yards.
richard's Swag Team
There's a distinct possibility that richard's Swag Team may be a better GM in real football than in fantasy. Seeing just seven targets as a group in Week 14, their four starting pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) apparently helped their teams' causes by running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
