Coach Talk

Orange bloods
Creating mismatches is a big component to winning in football. Thanks to a thrilling showing from Justin Herbert, we doubled up Boomtown Brawlers at the quarterback position this past week (33.65 points to 15.15). Herbert went 23-for-31 for 275 yards and three TDs in a 37-21 victory over the Giants.
Boomtown Brawlers
Keep your chin up, Boomtown Brawlers! Trust us on this one, we've been in this industry for quite a long time now. Obstacles pop up, you suffer some defeats, the fans get whiny, and your local beat writers get a little testy with distasteful columns. All part of living that coach life. Just remember that when it comes to fantasy football, winning really does cure all.
