Coach Talk

Freddie's Fantastic Team
Hey, exploiting mismatches is the key to football, right? With good performances by Leonard Fournette and Tony Pollard, our team took that to heart this past week. We tripled NEGRODAMUS up at running back (55.4 points to 16.6). With 131 total yards and four TDs, Fournette did most of the damage, while Pollard chipped in with 68 yards.
NEGRODAMUS
Welp, we can't really complain about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) were targeted a healthy 19 times in Week 12. With just 11 total catches, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
