Coach Talk

The Eagle Den
Hey, creating mismatches is the key to football, right? Despite a pedestrian display by Jalen Hurts, we thoroughly outplayed Dem Boyz at the quarterback position this past week (30.78 points to 4.64). Hurts went 13-for-24 for 147 yards in a 40-29 win over the Saints.
Dem Boyz
Even though we didn't earn the win in Week 11, let's remember to be thankful for the bounty of goodness that is fantasy football.
