Coach Talk

Show me your TDs
Hey, finding mismatches is the key to football, right? Thanks to a solid outing from Joe Burrow, we nearly tripled Golden Taint at the quarterback position this past week (26.5 points to 9). Burrow went 40-for-52 for 375 yards, three TDs, and two INTs in a 22-18 win over the Patriots.
Golden Taint
Hey, it's possible that Golden Taint might be a better GM in real football than in fantasy. With just zero targets as a group in Week 16, their three starting pass-catchers (three WR, zero TE) apparently helped their teams' causes by blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
