Coach Talk

I Have Spoken
Football is all about taking advantage of the mismatches. Thanks to a sound showing from Justin Herbert, we doubled up My Team at the quarterback position this past week (24.04 points to 11.48). Herbert went 22-for-38 for 236 yards, two TDs, and an INT in a 34-28 loss to the Chiefs.
My Team
Well, My Team, this week's problem is fairly easy to identify. Choosing to start Adam Thielen in a tough fantasy matchup... we'll all move on from this and assume something like this won't be happening again?
