Coach Talk

Easy Mode
Earning the win is most important, Easy Mode, but we've also identified one spot where we can improve as a team: our starting wide receivers were clearly overmatched by the opposition. Keenan Allen (40 total yards, no TDs) and Chris Godwin (61 yards, no TDs) combined for only 10.9 points in Week 9. For The Snack Attack, Allen Robinson II and Mike Evans doubled us up with a score of 25.6. Let's put some extra effort into studying those playbooks!
The Snack Attack
Well, The Snack Attack, this week's problem isn't exactly rocket science. Starting Greg Zuerlein and the New Orleans Saints defense in what was ultimately a tight fantasy matchup... let's all put this in the rear-view mirror and assume something like this won't be happening again.
