Coach Talk

Manuel's Awesome Team
Identifying mismatches is a huge component to winning in football. Thanks to a stellar display from Kirk Cousins, we doubled up Jim's Definitive Team at the quarterback position this past week (24.16 points to 9.86). Cousins was tremendous in a win over the Giants, hitting 34 of 48 passes for 299 yards and three touchdowns.
Jim's Definitive Team
The problem this week isn't exactly rocket science, Jim's Definitive Team. Choosing to start the Denver Broncos defense and Gerald Everett in a tough fantasy matchup... let's just assume it won't happen again and move on?
