Coach Talk

keith hamilton Giant
Hey, finding mismatches is the key to football, right? With great production out of the backfield, our team definitely made that a point of emphasis this past week. We absolutely dominated Zeus1604 Saints at the running back spot (13.79 points to 5.24). Saquon Barkley had 143 total yards and two TDs, while Devin Singletary chipped in with 89 yards.
Zeus1604 Saints
It's entirely possible that Zeus1604 Saints could be a better GM in real football than in fantasy. Accumulating only 12 total targets in Week 15, their three starting pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) apparently did a superb job running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
