Coach Talk

UnL TD Hunters
Football is all about exploiting the mismatches. Thanks to an awesome performance from Dak Prescott, we doubled up Slinks Mayhem at the quarterback position this past week (39.8 points to 17.56). Prescott went 34-for-47 for 450 yards and one TD in a 40-39 win over the Falcons.
Slinks Mayhem
It's entirely possible that Slinks Mayhem could be a better talent scout in the NFL than in fantasy football. Seeing only 15 targets as a group this past week, their four starting pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) apparently contributed to their teams' offenses by blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
