Coach Talk

WaiverWireWeirdo
You know, this sport is all about exploiting the mismatches. Fueled by great performances by Aaron Jones and Devin Singletary, our crew definitely made that a point of emphasis this past week. We quadrupled SchMoke's Goons at running back (37 points to 8.6). Jones did most of the heavy lifting (192 total yards and a TD), while Singletary chipped in with 118 yards.
SchMoke's Goons
Hey, it's possible that SchMoke's Goons would be a better GM in real football than in fantasy. Accumulating just 10 total targets in Week 14, their four starting pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) apparently did a superb job running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
