Coach Talk

Snakebitten!!!
You know, this sport is all about taking advantage of the mismatches. Thanks to a stellar showing from Patrick Mahomes, we doubled up Darkhorse198 at the quarterback position this past week (38.28 points to 16.9). Mahomes had his way against the Buccaneers secondary, hitting 37 of 49 passes for 462 yards and three touchdowns.
Darkhorse198
Unless Darkhorse198 wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting enough chances" isn't really an excuse this time around. As a group, our pass-catching corps (two WR and one TE) collectively received a grand total of 24 targets in Week 12. With just 14 total catches, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
