Coach Talk
Evil Clowns
We wonder if the GM of Evil Clowns was feeling a bit squeamish this one? In a matchup that was ultimately decided by a mere 1.75 points, Justin Tucker (3-for-4 on the day) decided that going 4-for-4 on field goals just wouldn't have been exciting enough. Remember kids, every point matters!
On/Goff Switch
Fortunately, On/Goff Switch, this week's problem isn't exactly advanced calculus. Choosing to start Marquez Valdes-Scantling in a fantasy matchup where every point mattered... let's try to play with a full deck of cards next time.
