Cure my trade itch knock off AViewToNkeal in 333.3-206.2 rout

Cure my trade itch stepped up and outperformed expectations, cruising to a 333.3-206.2 victory over AViewToNkeal, who fell short of projections. AViewToNkeal nabbed a 45.7-point lead on Thursday behind outstanding performances from Gardner Minshew II (22.2 points) and Joe Schobert (15). But it was all Cure my trade itch after that.

Cure my trade itch
Hey, finding mismatches is the key to football, right? Fueled by a stellar showing from Dak Prescott, we tripled AViewToNkeal at the quarterback position this past week (68.8 points to 22.2). Prescott went 37-for-57 for 472 yards, three TDs, and two INTs in a 38-31 loss to the Seahawks.

Well, we can't really gripe about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? Our pass-catching corps (four WR and one TE) combined to receive a grand total of 23 targets in Week 3. Timing and chemistry appear to be issues as that group hauled in just 14 catches.
