Coach Talk

53 Cats and a Duck
Hey, exploiting mismatches is the key to football, right? Thanks to a solid outing from Justin Herbert, we doubled up Mende’s Marauders at the quarterback position this past week (23 points to 10). Herbert went 28-for-44 for 303 yards, two TDs, and two INTs in a 28-13 loss to the Broncos.
Mende’s Marauders
Welp, we can't really complain about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? Our pass-catching corps (two WR, one TE) collectively got a grand total of 22 targets in Week 12. With only 10 total receptions, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
