Coach Talk

Tayda's Tots
Identifying mismatches is a big component to winning in football. Thanks to some stellar yardage production from our running backs, our team created a big disparity this week. Our backfield put up 191 more total yards than the RBs of The Bonesmashers (242 yards from scrimmage to 51), and we wound up doubling up them at the position, 33 points to 15.
The Bonesmashers
"Four score and seven points ago, our players brought forth, upon this fantasy matchup..." Wait, that's not how it goes (and unfortunately for us, not all fantasy teams are created equal). Our 87 points weren't enough to get the win this week. Continue giving it your all, The Bonesmashers, for as the great Abraham Lincoln conveyed: "You cannot fail unless you quit."
