Coach Talk

Shot Gun Sally
Hey, we'll definitely take the win, Shot Gun Sally! Having said that, if we want to ramp our performance up to the next level, then here's one area where we can improve. Our starting quarterback was thoroughly overmatched by the opposition. Tom Brady went 34-of-44 for 341 yards and three touchdowns for Babajide's Best Team, and all Matthew Stafford could manage through the air was 183 yards and two passing TDs. We need to put some more effort into studying those playbooks!
Babajide's Best Team
Fortunately, Babajide's Best Team, this week's problem was pretty easy to diagnose. Going with multiple zero-point players in a fantasy matchup where your opposition put up more than 203 points... let's do a bit of research before signing off on our Week 6 lineup?
