Coach Talk

darryl's Cool
This sport is all about creating mismatches. Thanks to a sound performance by Josh Allen, we tripled Nebraska Danger at the quarterback position this past week (40.01 points to 12). Allen went 17-for-26 for 224 yards, three TDs, and an INT in a 42-17 victory over the Dolphins.
Nebraska Danger
Luckily, this week's problem was pretty easy to diagnose, Nebraska Danger. Starting Luke Kuechly in a fantasy matchup where your opposition tallied over 119 points... let's all put this in the rear-view mirror and assume something like this won't be happening again.
