Coach Talk

LVR
Hey, the key to football is spotting the mismatches, right? Fueled by good production out of the backfield, our team made that a point of emphasis this past week. We doubled Steve's Team up at the running back position (35.3 points to 15). With 179 total yards and a TD, Alvin Kamara did most of the heavy lifting, while Aaron Jones chipped in with 39 yards.
Steve's Team
Hey, it's possible that Steve's Team would be a better GM in the NFL than in fantasy football. Seeing only four total targets this past week, their two wide receivers apparently made the bulk of their contributions by blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
