Coach Talk

Savage Mode
You know, this sport is all about finding the mismatches. We not only doubled up Sons of Repair at WR (59.9 points to 28.6), we also tripled them at QB (36.72 points to 11.44).
Sons of Repair
Well, we can't really complain about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? Our trio of pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) combined to get a whopping 21 targets in Week 1. With only 13 total receptions, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
