Coach Talk

Super Mario-Ta
Hey, creating mismatches is the key to football, right? Thanks to a thrilling outing from Kirk Cousins, we doubled up Magic Michael at the quarterback position this past week (31.68 points to 14.8). Cousins may not have earned the win for the Vikings, but he sure helped us by going 36-of-50 for 422 yards and three passing TDs.
Magic Michael
There's still a lot of football left to be played. These upcoming opponents might glance at your record and foolishly think they have an easy matchup. Use that to your advantage and deploy your best possible starting lineups... catch these complacent managers off-guard! Keep your head up, Magic Michael!
