Coach Talk

RDay13
A big key to success in football is creating mismatches. Fueled by good numbers out of the backfield, our team certainly made that a point of emphasis this past week. We tripled Manager-less Team up at running back (20 points to 6). Dalvin Cook did most of the damage (143 total yards and a TD), while James White logged zero yards.
Manager-less Team
Hey, it's possible that Manager-less Team would be a better talent scout in the NFL than in fantasy football. With only 20 total targets this past week, their five starting pass-catchers (four WR, one TE) apparently made most of their contributions by running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
