Coach Talk

Emily River
Spotting mismatches is a huge component to winning in football. Fueled by some stellar yardage production from our ball-carriers, our team certainly made that happen this week. Our three starting backs recorded 170 more yards from scrimmage than the RBs on Stella's Angels (400 total yards to 230), and we wound up almost tripling them at the position (87 points to 31).
Stella's Angels
Fortunately, Stella's Angels, Week 16's problem is fairly easy to spot. Choosing to start James Conner in a tough fantasy matchup... let's all just put this in the rear-view mirror and assume something like this won't be happening again.
