Coach Talk

Benetton Favorites
Hey, the key to football is taking advantage of the mismatches, right? With some monster yardage production from our ball-carriers, our team created a big disparity this week. Our three starting backs tallied 102 more yards from scrimmage than the RBs of MNG Orlovi (284 total yards to 182), and we wound up doubling up them at the position, 34.4 points to 16.2.
MNG Orlovi
The problem in Week 15 was pretty easy to identify, MNG Orlovi. Choosing to start Pat Freiermuth in a tough fantasy matchup... we'll all put this in the rear-view mirror and assume something like this won't be happening again.
