Coach Talk

The Ones Below All
Hey, this sport is all about exploiting the mismatches, right? Thanks to a solid display by Patrick Mahomes, we doubled up Rubber Ducky at the quarterback position this past week (28.55 points to 12.25). Mahomes went 24-for-32 for 211 yards and three TDs in a 34-20 win over the Texans.
Rubber Ducky
Chin up, Rubber Ducky! Look, I've been in this industry long enough to know that every once in a while, free points can just miraculously appear out of the blue. Then in some cases, like this week, they don't! Okay, okay; asking for an extra 19 points may be a bit on the excessive side.
