Coach Talk

Carl's Team
You know, this sport is all about spotting the mismatches. With stellar performances by Nick Chubb and D'Andre Swift, our squad certainly took that to heart this past week. We doubled budapest bulliess up at the running back position (34 points to 15). Chubb had 101 total yards and two TDs, while Swift logged 104 yards.
budapest bulliess
Fortunately, budapest bulliess, this week's problem was pretty easy to diagnose. Going with Ryan Fitzpatrick in a fantasy matchup where your opposition put up 100 points... we'll use this as a learning experience and agree that it won't happen again.
