Jedi Master
A big key to success in football is creating mismatches. Case in point: we made that a point of emphasis by thoroughly overpowering My Ball Zach Ertz at running back this past week (61.5 points to 11.2).
My Ball Zach Ertz
Ugh, talk about under-utilized. As a group, the starting RBs for My Ball Zach Ertz collectively logged only a couple of targets this past week. Tell those quarterbacks to check down a little more often in Week 9!
