Coach Talk

Dick Buttkiss
The key to success in football is finding (and exploiting) the mismatches. Fueled by some stellar yardage production from our running backs, our team created a big disparity this week. Our backfield put up 155 more yards from scrimmage than the RBs of Rigby's (353 total yards to 198), as we ultimately doubled up them at the position, 48.3 points to 23.12.
Rigby's
Well, this week's problem isn't exactly rocket science, Rigby's. Starting Nick Folk in a tough fantasy matchup... we'll all assume it won't happen again and move on.
