Coach Talk

My Ball Zach Ertz
You know, the key to football is exploiting the mismatches. Along with doubling up Superman's Team at QB (33.06 points to 14.33), we also quadrupled them at RB (28.3 to 6.5).
Superman's Team
Unless Superman's Team wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting enough opportunities" isn't really a reasonable excuse this time around. Our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 28 times in Week 7. With just 15 total receptions, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
