Coach Talk
Ahab defends the bronze
Hey, football is all about exploiting the mismatches. Fueled by some stellar yardage production from our running backs, our team really made that happen this week. Our backfield logged 189 more total yards than the RBs on ImGoinInSoft (371 yards from scrimmage to 182), and we wound up doubling up them at the position, 57.1 points to 24.2.
ImGoinInSoft
It's entirely possible that ImGoinInSoft would be a better talent scout in the NFL than in fantasy football. Seeing just seven total targets in Week 4, their three starting pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) apparently made the bulk of their contributions by running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
