Coach Talk

Dirty Hippies
Football is all about exploiting the mismatches. Case in point: we really emphasized that by doubling up Hangovers at running back this past week (62.8 points to 26.75).
Hangovers
Luckily, Week 4's problem was pretty easy to diagnose, Hangovers. Starting Robbie Gould in a fantasy matchup where your opponent put up over 158 points... let's deem this to be an opportunity to get better and all agree that it won't happen again?
