Coach Talk

Tamil Tigers
Hey, this sport is all about uncovering the mismatches, right? We really took that to heart this week by thoroughly outplaying 2019 2nd place team at the wide receiver position (42.14 points to 15.45).
2019 2nd place team
Fortunately, 2019 2nd place team, this week's problem is pretty easy to diagnose. Starting the Detroit Lions defense in a fantasy matchup where your opponent put up almost 128 points... we'll consider this to be a learning experience and all agree that it's not going to happen again.
