Coach Talk

Raising Cardinals
This sport is all about spotting (and exploiting) the mismatches. Thanks to a sound showing from Justin Herbert, we doubled up MILLER'S KILLERS at the quarterback position this past week (24.04 points to 11.14). Herbert went 22-for-38 for 236 yards, two TDs, and an INT in a 34-28 loss to the Chiefs.
MILLER'S KILLERS
It's entirely possible that MILLER'S KILLERS might be a better GM in the NFL than in fantasy football. With only four targets as a group in Week 15, their three wide receivers apparently made the bulk of their contributions by blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
