Coach Talk

SPACEGOAT
Football is all about exploiting the mismatches. Thanks to a solid performance by Andrew Luck, we doubled up The Trubisky Fanboys at the quarterback position this past week (23.88 points to 11.02). Luck had a field day in a blowout win over the Titans, going 23-of-29 for 297 yards and three passing TDs.
The Trubisky Fanboys
With three receptions on just four measly targets this past week, the starting RBs for The Trubisky Fanboys should remind their QBs to check down more frequently (and dial up a screen play or two).
