Coach Talk

Alvin Instant Kamara
Hey, football is all about exploiting the mismatches. Not only did we triple DreDreDeWinner🤑 at WR (96 points to 28), we also quadrupled them at QB (45 points to 10).

Well, we certainly can't complain about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? Our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) were targeted a healthy 32 times in Week 9. With just 18 total receptions, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
