Coach Talk

Blue Team
Hey, creating mismatches is the key to football, right? Thanks to an awesome outing by Joe Burrow, we nearly quadrupled Real strength at the quarterback position this past week (38.1 points to 9.68). Burrow orchestrated a big victory over the Ravens, hitting 37 of 46 passes for 525 yards and four TDs.
Real strength
Well, Real strength, this week's problem was fairly easy to identify. Choosing to start Matt Breida and Jermar Jefferson in a fantasy matchup where your opposition tallied almost 130 points... let's try to play with a full deck of cards next time.
