Coach Talk

Stay Cappin
Identifying mismatches is a big key to success in football. Fueled by some monster yardage production from our running backs, our team certainly made that happen this week. Our backfield logged 291 more total yards than the RBs on The Overkiller's (445 yards from scrimmage to 154), and we wound up nearly tripling them at the position (72.5 points to 25.2).
The Overkiller's
As we move ahead to 2023, our coaching staff is super excited to get back out there again next year. Keep tabs on the Yahoo! Fantasy Experts throughout the offseason for the best takes in the biz, and don't let your agent talk you out of reporting to training camp on time!
