Coach Talk

FtheRefs
A big key to success in football is exploiting the mismatches. Fueled by a solid showing by Tom Brady, we nearly tripled Blade Executioner at the quarterback position this past week (18.4 points to 6.15). Brady went 31-for-45 for 390 yards and two TDs in a 31-27 win over the Falcons.
Blade Executioner
Fortunately, Blade Executioner, this week's problem is fairly easy to spot. Choosing to start Nicholas Morrow in a fantasy matchup where your opposition tallied over 86 points... let's all assume it won't happen again and move on?
