Coach Talk

Grizzled Vets
Hey, the key to football is creating mismatches, right? Thanks to a solid performance by Carson Wentz, we doubled up PartyatTheGoatHouse at the quarterback position this past week (23.84 points to 9.64). Wentz went 27-for-39 for 306 yards, two TDs, and an INT in a 28-13 triumph over the Redskins.
PartyatTheGoatHouse
Hey, it's possible that PartyatTheGoatHouse might be a better talent scout in the NFL than in fantasy football. Accumulating just eight targets combined in Week 13, their three starting pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) apparently contributed primarily by blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
