Coach Talk

My Broken Johnson
Earning the win is most important, My Broken Johnson, but we also know of one spot where we should get better as a team. Our quarterback was utterly outclassed by the opposition. Lamar Jackson went 9-of-20 for 143 yards and zero touchdowns for Maxdeflation, and all Kyler Murray could put up was a 14-for-21 day for 104 passing yards. Let's put some extra effort into studying those playbooks!
Maxdeflation
It's entirely possible that Maxdeflation may be a better GM in real football than in fantasy. Seeing only 13 total targets in Week 7, their four wide receivers apparently spent the majority of their games running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
