Coach Talk

Ron's Eagles
You know, the key to football is exploiting the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by soundly outplaying Eponas at the wide receiver position (44.3 points to 17.3).
Eponas
Fortunately, Week 14's problem is pretty easy to diagnose, Eponas. Starting Damien Williams, Stephen Gostkowski, and T.Y. Hilton in a fantasy matchup where your opposition tallied almost 84 points... let's all put this in the rear-view mirror and assume it's not going to happen again.
