Coach Talk

Mr big puff
You know, this sport is all about spotting the mismatches. Fueled by stellar performances by Jonathan Taylor and Alvin Kamara, our team certainly made that a point of emphasis this past week. We thoroughly outscored Gridiron Gladiators at the running back position (48.4 points to 19.2). Taylor had 165 total yards and two TDs, while Kamara logged 94 yards.
Gridiron Gladiators
Well, Gridiron Gladiators, this week's problem was pretty easy to spot. Choosing to start Trey Burton in a fantasy matchup where your opposition put up over 151 points... let's just assume it won't happen again and move on.
