Coach Talk

Havoc
Hey, creating mismatches is the key to football, right? Fueled by some stellar yardage production from our running backs, our team created a big disparity this week. Our backfield tallied 129 more total yards than the RBs on Blue Falcons (340 yards from scrimmage to 211), as we ultimately doubled up them at the position, 61 points to 27.1.
Blue Falcons
Well, Blue Falcons, this week's problem was pretty easy to identify. Choosing to start Matt Bryant in a tough fantasy matchup... let's aim to play with a full deck of cards next time.
