Coach Talk

Great Danes
Hey, creating mismatches is the key to football, right? Thanks to a sound showing by Deshaun Watson, we doubled up PkrBkr at the quarterback position this past week (19.92 points to 9.46). Watson went 19-for-30 for 298 yards, two TDs, and an INT in a three-point triumph over the Colts.
PkrBkr
PkrBkr may find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunity this past week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) were targeted a respectable 32 times in Week 12. Those players might need to hit the practice field, considering they hauled in only 17 catches.
