Coach Talk

Tenacious
A big key to success in football is creating mismatches. Fueled by an awesome performance by Dak Prescott, we royally dominated Dipper at the quarterback position this past week (43.5 points to 16.27). Prescott lit up the Giants secondary by recording 405 yards and four passing touchdowns.
Dipper
Fortunately, Dipper, this week's problem isn't exactly rocket science. Starting T.J. Yeldon in what turned out to be a tight fantasy matchup... let's try to play with a full deck of cards next time?
