Coach Talk

Fantasy Football Team
Football is all about creating mismatches. With some monster yardage production from our running backs, our team created a big disparity this week. Our three backfield starters put up 84 more yards from scrimmage than the RBs on 🏈Gridiron & Wine 🍷 (258 total yards to 174), and we ended up utterly dominating them at the position (72.8 points to 20.4).
🏈Gridiron & Wine 🍷
Welp, we certainly can't complain about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? Our pass-catching corps (four WR and one TE) were targeted a whopping 44 times in Week 12. With only 26 total receptions, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
