Coach Talk

TallAndMercilessInSanAntonio
You know, the key to football is exploiting the mismatches. Thanks to some monster yardage production from our ball-carriers, our team really made that happen this week. Our backfield logged 122 more total yards than the RBs on ImGoinInSoft (260 yards from scrimmage to 138), as we ultimately doubled up them at the position, 36 points to 15.8.
ImGoinInSoft
Hey, it's possible that ImGoinInSoft could be a better talent scout in real football than in fantasy. Accumulating just nine targets combined this past week, their three starting pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) apparently spent the majority of their games blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
