Coach Talk

Dirty Dogs
Hey, this sport is all about finding the mismatches. Thanks to a solid performance from Kyler Murray, we doubled up FDC Chiefs at the quarterback position this past week (46.75 points to 19.65). Murray went 21-for-26 for 283 yards and three TDs in a 34-31 loss to the Dolphins.
FDC Chiefs
Well, we can't really complain about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our five pass-catchers (four WR, one TE) collectively received a healthy 36 targets in Week 9. Chemistry could be an issue, as that group tallied only 22 receptions.
