Coach Talk

Long Island Broskis
A big key to success in football is creating mismatches. With stout performances by Chris Thompson and Austin Ekeler, our squad definitely took that to heart this past week. We doubled Business Time up at the running back position (24.4 points to 11.1). Thompson had 108 yards from scrimmage while Ekeler chipped in with 81 yards.
Business Time
Fortunately, Business Time, this week's problem is fairly easy to identify. Choosing to start the Baltimore Ravens defense in a fantasy matchup where your opponent put up over 105 points... let's try to play with a full deck of cards next time?
