Coach Talk

Elvis
Hey, the key to football is spotting the mismatches. Thanks to a stellar showing from Aaron Rodgers, we thoroughly outscored Gareth at the quarterback position this past week (30.67 points to 4.68). Rodgers orchestrated a Packers victory over the Lions, going 26-of-33 for 290 yards and three passing TDs.
Gareth
Hey now, talk about under-utilized. The starting RBs for Gareth collectively registered just five targets this past week.
