Coach Talk

Jordan's Team
Hey, the key to football is uncovering the mismatches, right? Thanks to a sound outing from Jared Goff, we doubled up justin f's Team at the quarterback position this past week (29.56 points to 12.14). Goff went 21-for-30 for 309 yards, two TDs, and an INT in a 30-10 win over the Football Team.
justin f's Team
The problem this week was pretty easy to spot, justin f's Team. Choosing to start the Kansas City Chiefs defense and Julian Edelman in what turned out to be a tight fantasy matchup... we'll all put this behind us and move on.
