Coach Talk

Rich's Great Team
Hey, the key to football is spotting (and then exploiting) the mismatches. Thanks to a stellar showing from Kyler Murray, we thoroughly outplayed «XERO»™'s Team at the quarterback position this past week (34.14 points to 13.04). Murray went 27-for-36 for 406 yards, three TDs, and an INT in a 33-26 win over the Eagles.
«XERO»™'s Team
Well, «XERO»™'s Team, this week's problem isn't exactly advanced calculus. Choosing to start Eric Ebron in a fantasy matchup where your opposition tallied 146.64 points... we'll just put this behind us and move on.
