Coach Talk

Cleveland Browns
Hey, creating mismatches is the key to football, right? Despite a mediocre outing by Josh Allen, we doubled up Los Angeles Rams at the quarterback position this past week (12 points to 5). Allen went 11-for-26 for 120 yards in a 29-15 triumph over the Falcons.
Los Angeles Rams
Well, Los Angeles Rams, Week 17's problem was pretty easy to identify. Choosing to start Robert Woods and Darrell Henderson Jr. in a fantasy matchup where your opponent tallied 33 points... we'll all just assume it won't happen again and move on?
