Coach Talk

Penetrators
This sport is all about identifying the mismatches. Thanks to a solid performance from Dak Prescott, we doubled up Dr!p at the quarterback position this past week (26.88 points to 13.28). Prescott went 28-for-46 for 397 yards, three TDs, and an INT in a 28-24 loss to the Vikings.
Dr!p
Well, Dr!p, this week's problem is fairly easy to identify. Choosing to start Cooper Kupp in a tough fantasy matchup... we'll all put this behind us and move on.
