Coach Talk

Manchester Crows
Creating mismatches is a huge key to success in football. Thanks to some monster yardage production from our running backs, our team certainly made that happen this week. Our three backfield starters put up 337 more yards from scrimmage than the RBs on Bobby Boucher (408 total yards to 71), as we ultimately royally dominated them at the position, 59.8 points to 10.1.
Bobby Boucher
The problem in Week 16 is pretty easy to diagnose, Bobby Boucher. Choosing to start Elijah Mitchell in a fantasy matchup where your opponent tallied 124.56 points... let's aim to play with a full deck of cards next time?
