Coach Talk

Raptors
Hey, the key to football is creating mismatches, right? With stellar performances by Dalvin Cook and Saquon Barkley, our squad took that to heart this past week. We almost tripled Da Dementors at running back (41 points to 14.6). Cook had 190 total yards and a TD, while Barkley logged 120 yards.
Da Dementors
Da Dementors may find it tough to complain about lack of opportunities this past week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) collectively saw a healthy 32 targets in Week 15. With only 16 total receptions, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
