Coach Talk

Le’Veon is a loser!
The key to success in football is creating mismatches. Fueled by a stellar performance by Baker Mayfield, we doubled up No Luck at the quarterback position this past week (23.07 points to 10.5). Mayfield went 27-for-37 for 284 yards and three TDs in a 26-18 victory over the Bengals.
No Luck
Fortunately, this week's problem isn't exactly rocket science, No Luck. Choosing to start Chris Hogan in what turned out to be a tight fantasy matchup... let's just move on from this and assume something like this won't be happening again.
