Coach Talk

LIL PENNY
Football is all about creating mismatches. In addition to doubling up FeistyQue at QB (33 points to 16), we also tripled them at RB (22 to 7).
FeistyQue
Welp, we can't really complain about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? Our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) collectively got a grand total of 32 targets in Week 5. With only 18 total catches, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
