Coach Talk

G-Phins
Creating mismatches is a huge component to winning in football. Thanks to a solid display by Patrick Mahomes, we doubled up The Real Lawrence at the quarterback position this past week (30.6 points to 13.58). Mahomes went 31-for-47 for 410 yards, three TDs, and an INT in a six-point victory over the Chargers.
The Real Lawrence
With only three catches this past week, the starting RBs for The Real Lawrence clearly need to smooth things over with their QBs... and remind them to dump it off more frequently.
