Coach Talk

Blue Falcons
You know, the key to football is exploiting the mismatches. Fueled by some monster yardage production from our running backs, our team really made that happen this week. Our three backfield starters recorded 178 more yards from scrimmage than the RBs on SECFOR Sixers (325 total yards to 147), as we ultimately doubled up them at the position, 61.5 points to 29.7.
SECFOR Sixers
Hey, it's possible that SECFOR Sixers might be a better GM in real football than in fantasy. Accumulating just 20 targets as a group in Week 6, their five starting pass-catchers (four WR, one TE) apparently contributed primarily by running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
