Coach Talk

Silver & Black
Hey, the key to football is exploiting the mismatches. Thanks to a thrilling outing from Patrick Mahomes, we royally dominated Nick at the quarterback position this past week (40.25 points to 7.25). Mahomes went 23-for-38 for 295 yards and four TDs in a 40-33 triumph over the Raiders.
Nick
There's a decent chance that Nick would be a better GM in real football than in fantasy. With just nine targets combined this past week, their four starting pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) apparently spent the majority of their games running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
