Coach Talk

Alaskan Big Hammers
You know, the key to football is spotting and exploiting the mismatches. Fueled by some stellar yardage production from our ball-carriers, our team created a noticeable disparity this week. Our three starting backs put up 121 more yards from scrimmage than the RBs of Fournettecation (303 total yards to 182), and we ended up doubling up them at the position (84.3 points to 41.2).
Fournettecation
The problem in Week 15 isn't exactly rocket science, Fournettecation. Starting Brandon McManus in a tough fantasy matchup... let's just move on from this and assume it's not going to happen again?
