Coach Talk

Rebel Alliance
Hey, football is all about exploiting the mismatches. Thanks to a solid showing by Matthew Stafford, we doubled up SAWTOOTHS at the quarterback position this past week (35.75 points to 15.45). Stafford went 22-for-28 for 251 yards, four TDs, and an INT in a 38-11 win over the Giants.
SAWTOOTHS
There's still a boatload of football left to be played, SAWTOOTHS! These upcoming opponents may look at your record and foolishly believe they have an easy matchup. Use that to your advantage and deploy the strongest possible starting lineups... catch these complacent managers off-guard!
