Coach Talk

J1's Excellent Team
This sport is all about creating mismatches. Thanks to an awesome showing by Justin Herbert, we doubled up REDSKINS at the quarterback position this past week (42.82 points to 20.34). Herbert went 26-for-43 for 398 yards and four TDs in a 47-42 win over the Browns.
REDSKINS
Welp, we can't really complain about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? Our pass-catchers (one WR and one TE) collectively received a whopping 17 targets in Week 5. With just 10 total receptions, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
