Coach Talk

#GoatPicks
Hey, exploiting mismatches is the key to football, right? Thanks to a solid performance from Josh Allen, we doubled up The Football Team at the quarterback position this past week (37.48 points to 17.56). Allen went 24-for-35 for 417 yards and four TDs (plus no INTs) in a 31-28 win over the Dolphins.
The Football Team
Well, we can't really gripe about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (four WR, one TE) were targeted a hearty 22 times in Week 2. With just 12 total catches, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
