Coach Talk

Injury Prone
Spotting mismatches is a huge key to success in football. Thanks to a solid outing by Justin Herbert, we doubled up Footsteps Falco at the quarterback position this past week (51.72 points to 25.62). Herbert went 29-for-43 for 278 yards, three TDs, and two INTs in a 31-30 loss to the Broncos.
Footsteps Falco
"Not getting many chances" isn't an excuse this week for Footsteps Falco. Our three wide receivers were targeted a grand total of 28 times in Week 8. With only 17 total receptions, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
