Coach Talk

Jason's Optimal Team
Hey, creating mismatches is the key to football, right? Thanks to a solid outing by Dak Prescott, we doubled up JDs Autodraft scrubs at the quarterback position this past week (34.66 points to 16.36). Prescott went 26-for-30 for 269 yards, three TDs, and an INT in a 31-21 victory over the Redskins.
JDs Autodraft scrubs
Unless JDs Autodraft scrubs wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing many looks" doesn't fly as an excuse this time around. Our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) were targeted a hearty 40 times in Week 2. With only 24 total catches, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
