Coach Talk

Comeback Kid
Hey, this sport is all about exploiting the mismatches, right? Fueled by a thrilling showing by Lamar Jackson, we nearly tripled VACHout at the quarterback position this past week (36.8 points to 12.88). Jackson went 24-for-37 for 272 yards and two TDs in a 23-17 triumph over the Cardinals.
VACHout
VACHout may find it tough to complain about lack of opportunity this past week. Our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 23 times in Week 2. Chemistry seems to be an issue, as that group reeled in just 13 receptions.
