Coach Talk

Canadian Pharmacy
Creating mismatches is a big component to winning in football. Thanks to a solid display by Russell Wilson, we absolutely dominated Donnie Football at the quarterback position this past week (22.98 points to 4.74). Wilson went 23-for-31 for 237 yards and two TDs in a 26-23 loss to the 49ers.
Donnie Football
There's a possibility that Donnie Football may be a better talent scout in real football than in fantasy. With just nine targets as a group in Week 15, their three wide receivers apparently did a superb job blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
