Coach Talk

Ben's Besties
Hey, the key to football is exploiting the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by utterly dominating FantasyFootball Team at the wide receiver position (43.3 points to 6.2).
FantasyFootball Team
Missing a field goal isn't usually a reason to get upset. But come on now, talk about impeccable timing: Daniel Carlson goes 3-for-4 on FGs instead of 4-for-4, and FantasyFootball Team loses the matchup by 2.42 points. We'll let you do the math on that one.
