Coach Talk

FDC Chiefs
Hey, finding mismatches is the key to football, right? Thanks to a sound display from Joe Burrow, we doubled up ExigentCircumstances at the quarterback position this past week (16.35 points to 6.9). Burrow went 15-for-22 for 157 yards and one TD in a five-point triumph over the Broncos.
ExigentCircumstances
There's a possibility that ExigentCircumstances may be a better talent scout in real football than in fantasy. Seeing just 12 targets combined in Week 15, their four starting pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) apparently helped their teams' causes by running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
