Coach Talk

Bishop Sycamore
The key to success in football is taking advantage of the mismatches. Not only did we double up Battle Tested at RB (30.6 points to 14.2), we also thoroughly dominated them at QB (33.64 to 9.56).
Battle Tested
Fortunately, Battle Tested, this week's problem is pretty easy to diagnose. Going with DeVante Parker in a fantasy matchup where your opponent put up more than 105 points... we'll just put this in the rear-view mirror and assume that something like this won't happen again?
