Coach Talk

Boogie Knights
Hey, the key to football is finding and exploiting the mismatches, right? Fueled by a stellar performance from Joe Burrow, we nearly quadrupled Boogie Ballers at the quarterback position this past week (25.5 points to 6.5). Burrow went 40-for-52 for 375 yards, three TDs, and two INTs in a 22-18 win over the Patriots.

Fortunately, Boogie Ballers, Week 16's problem isn't exactly rocket science. Choosing to start Nick Folk in a fantasy matchup where every point mattered... let's try to move forward with a full deck of cards next time?
