Coach Talk

The Underachievers
You know, football is all about exploiting the mismatches. With good production out of our ball-carriers, our squad definitely took that to heart this past week. We utterly dominated Volt Blitz at the running back position (26 points to 10). With 175 total yards and two TDs, Derrick Henry did most of the damage, while Melvin Gordon III logged zero yards.
Volt Blitz
There's a decent chance that Volt Blitz may be a better GM in the NFL than in fantasy football. Seeing just three targets combined this past week, their four starting pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) apparently contributed to their respective offenses by running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
