Coach Talk

Roadrunner
Hey, the key to football is taking advantage of the mismatches. Fueled by a stellar showing from Patrick Mahomes, we tripled Steam Rollers at the quarterback position this past week (40.7 points to 12.35). Mahomes went 31-for-47 for 410 yards, three TDs, and an INT in a 34-28 triumph over the Chargers.
Steam Rollers
Well, Steam Rollers, Week 15's problem isn't exactly a brain teaser. Choosing to start Antoine Winfield Jr. in a fantasy matchup where your opposition tallied nearly 181 points... let's just put this behind us and move on.
