MILLER'S KILLERS
Hey, exploiting mismatches is the key to football, right? Thanks to a sound display from Justin Fields, we absolutely dominated Packers Brno at the quarterback position this past week (42.72 points to 16.64). Fields went 17-for-28 for 123 yards and three TDs in a 35-32 loss to the Dolphins.
Packers Brno
Trust us on this one, Packers Brno... We've been in this business for a long time now. Obstacles pop up, you suffer some defeats, your fans get a little whiny, and the local beat writers turn nit-picky with distasteful columns. All part of living that coach life. Just remember that in the world of fantasy football, winning is the easiest way to silence all the critics out there.
