DP brought their A game, rolling to a 148.34-101.10 win over Hammertime, who fell short of projections. DP nabbed a 10.60-point lead on Thursday behind Todd Gurley II and never looked back.

Coach Talk

DP
Hey, finding mismatches is the key to football, right? Fueled by a stellar showing from Patrick Mahomes, we quadrupled Hammertime at the quarterback position this past week (47.64 points to 11.2). Mahomes had his way against the Jets secondary, going 31-of-42 for 416 yards and five passing TDs.
Hammertime
Welp, we certainly can't whine about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 26 times in Week 8. Chemistry could be a problem, as that group managed only 16 receptions.
