Coach Talk

Rebel Alliance
A big key to success in football is creating mismatches. Thanks to great performances by Nyheim Hines and Nick Chubb, our crew certainly made that a point of emphasis this past week. We tripled Warm Bodies up at running back (47.1 points to 15.2). Hines had 115 total yards and two TDs, while Chubb logged 126 yards.
Warm Bodies
Well, Warm Bodies, this week's problem was pretty easy to diagnose. Choosing to start A.J. Green and Troymaine Pope in a tough fantasy matchup... we'll use this as an opportunity to get better and agree that it won't happen again.
