Coach Talk

DominationStation
This sport is all about taking advantage of the mismatches. With some monster yardage production from our running backs, our team really made that happen this week. Our three starting backs recorded 146 more total yards than the RBs of DARC NARC (281 yards from scrimmage to 135), as we ultimately doubled up them at the position (45.1 points to 20.15).
DARC NARC
"Not seeing enough chances" is definitely not an excuse this week for DARC NARC. Our pass-catching corps (three WR, two TE) collectively got a hearty 44 targets in Week 15. Chemistry could be an issue, as that group pulled down just 25 catches.
