Coach Talk

Planet united
Identifying mismatches is a huge key to success in football. Thanks to a sound display by Jared Goff, we thoroughly outscored Keeper Reapers at the quarterback position this past week (30 points to 12). Goff went 23-for-32 for 321 yards, two TDs, and an INT in a 35-32 loss to the Bills.
Keeper Reapers
Look, Keeper Reapers, we've been in this business long enough to know that sometimes points just seem to miraculously appear out of the blue. Then in some cases (ahem, Week 3) they don't! You know, now that I think about it... hoping for an extra 32 points might be a bit much.
