Coach Talk

The Spicy Floonz
Hey, exploiting mismatches is the key to football, right? With some stellar yardage production from our running backs, our team created a noticeable disparity this week. Our backfield logged 163 more yards from scrimmage than the RBs of Staffordable CareAct (327 total yards to 164), and we wound up tripling them at the position (65.7 points to 21.9).
Staffordable CareAct
It's entirely possible that Staffordable CareAct would be a better GM in real football than in fantasy. With just 11 targets as a group this past week, their three wide receivers apparently helped their teams' causes by blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
