Coach Talk

Rachel's Team
This sport is all about creating mismatches. We really took that to heart by thoroughly outplaying Six Footers at running back this past week (52 points to 14).
Six Footers
Well, we can't really complain about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (six WR, one TE) were targeted a hearty 42 times in Week 15. Those players might need to hit the practice field, considering they hauled in just 24 receptions.
