Coach Talk

98 DarkPink Balloons
Hey, this sport is all about taking advantage of the mismatches. Thanks to a sound outing by Deshaun Watson, we thoroughly outplayed The mystery machine at the quarterback position this past week (29.4 points to 5.44). Watson went 19-for-24 for 210 yards and two TDs in a 34-17 win over the Titans.
The mystery machine
Hey, it's possible that The mystery machine could be a better talent scout in real football than in fantasy. Accumulating only seven total targets this past week, their three wide receivers apparently made most of their contributions by blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
