Coach Talk

Real United FC 1848
Identifying mismatches is a big key to success in football. Thanks to a sound showing by Kirk Cousins, we doubled up Nerd Herd at the quarterback position this past week (17.62 points to 8.44). Cousins went 24-for-34 for 233 yards, one TD, and an INT in a 27-17 win over the Cardinals.
Nerd Herd
It's entirely possible that Nerd Herd would be a better GM in real football than in fantasy. Accumulating only 11 targets combined this past week, their three wide receivers apparently did a superb job running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
