Coach Talk
FDC Chiefs
Hey, the key to football is spotting (and then exploiting) the mismatches. Thanks to a solid outing from Derek Carr, we thoroughly outplayed Team Tadlock at the quarterback position this past week (41.55 points to 5.75). Carr went 28-for-47 for 381 yards, three TDs, and an INT in a three-point victory over the Jets.
Team Tadlock
The problem this week is pretty easy to diagnose, Team Tadlock. Starting Will Fuller V and Mark Andrews in a tough fantasy matchup... we'll deem this to be an opportunity to get better and all agree that it won't happen again.
