Coach Talk

Strat-O-Matics
Hey, the key to football is exploiting the mismatches, right? Fueled by a thrilling performance by Aaron Rodgers, we thoroughly outplayed zany3 at the quarterback position this past week (26.48 points to 4.7). Rodgers went 34-for-53 for 422 yards, two TDs, and an INT in a 34-27 loss to the Eagles.
zany3
Luckily, Week 4's problem is pretty easy to identify, zany3. Choosing to start Nelson Agholor in a fantasy matchup where your opposition put up over 127 points... let's deem this to be an opportunity to get better and all agree that it won't happen again?
