Coach Talk

Kaepernicus
Sure, we ultimately earned the win, but there's really no way sugarcoat this, Kaepernicus. Our QB was thoroughly outplayed by the opposition. Lamar Jackson went 21-of-33 for 236 yards and zero touchdowns for Demo men, and all Jimmy Garoppolo could manage through the air was 243 passing yards and an ugly interception. We need to put some more effort into scouting those upcoming defenses!
Demo men
It's entirely possible that Demo men would be a better talent scout in real football than in fantasy. Accumulating only 20 total targets this past week, their five starting pass-catchers (four WR, one TE) apparently spent the majority of their games running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
