Coach Talk

Smack down boyz
You know, this sport is all about exploiting the mismatches. Fueled by a thrilling showing by Patrick Mahomes, we doubled up Raiders soul smasher at the quarterback position this past week (87.6 points to 38.2). Mahomes orchestrated a big win over the Ravens, going 31-of-42 for 385 yards and four passing TDs.
Raiders soul smasher
Unless Raiders soul smasher wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting enough chances" is definitely not an excuse this week. Our five pass-catchers (four WR, one TE) combined to get a whopping 29 targets in Week 3. Those players should try to get some extra practice reps in with their QBs, considering they managed just 17 catches.
