Coach Talk

Darnold’s fivehead
Creating mismatches is a huge key to success in football. Thanks to a stellar display from Russell Wilson, we tripled Underperformers Inc. at the quarterback position this past week (49.22 points to 14.94). Wilson went 29-for-43 for 378 yards and five TDs (plus no INTs) in a 40-34 win over the Buccaneers.
Underperformers Inc.
The problem this week isn't exactly rocket science, Underperformers Inc.. Going with Marquez Valdes-Scantling in a tough fantasy matchup... we'll all assume something like this won't happen again and move on.
