Coach Talk

Xheryk
The key to success in football is exploiting the mismatches. With good production out of our ball-carriers, our crew made that a point of emphasis this past week. We doubled CardinalFan up at the running back spot (31.1 points to 12.73). Derrick Henry (191 total yards and two TDs) did most of the damage, while Darrell Henderson Jr. chipped in with four yards.
CardinalFan
Fortunately, CardinalFan, Week 10's problem isn't exactly a brain teaser. Going with Jared Goff in a tough fantasy matchup... let's try to play with a full deck of cards next time.
