Coach Talk

Green Bay Packers
A big key to success in football is spotting the mismatches. Thanks to some monster yardage production from our running backs, our team really made that happen this week. Our three starting backs put up 191 more total yards than the RBs of Baltimore Ravens (305 yards from scrimmage to 114), as we ultimately doubled up them at the position (45.5 points to 19.4).
Baltimore Ravens
There's a real chance that Baltimore Ravens might be a better talent scout in real football than in fantasy. Accumulating only six total targets this past week, their four wide receivers apparently did a superb job blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
