Coach Talk

Anthony's First-Rate Team
Hey, the key to football is spotting and exploiting the mismatches. With some stellar yardage production from our running backs, our team created a big disparity this week. Our three starting backs logged 132 more yards from scrimmage than the RBs on Blue Mountain State (242 total yards to 110), as we ultimately tripled them at the position, 42.2 points to 13.5.
Blue Mountain State
It's entirely possible that Blue Mountain State could be a better GM in real football than in fantasy. Accumulating just six targets combined in Week 15, their two wide receivers apparently spent the majority of their games blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
