Coach Talk

Outlaws
Hey, the key to football is exploiting the mismatches, right? We really took that to heart this week by doubling up Fania's Team at the wide receiver position (63.7 points to 31.2).
Fania's Team
Luckily, this week's problem was pretty easy to diagnose, Fania's Team. Choosing to start Nelson Agholor in what turned out to be a tight fantasy matchup... let's aim to play with a full deck of cards next time.
