Coach Talk

Kickback Kid's Expert Team
A big key to success in football is taking advantage of the mismatches. Thanks to an awesome showing by Patrick Mahomes, we tripled Colts74 at the quarterback position this past week (32.74 points to 10.72). Mahomes went 36-for-41 for 336 yards and two TDs in a six-point triumph over the Texans.
Colts74
Well, we certainly can't whine about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) collectively received a healthy 49 targets in Week 15. With just 29 total receptions, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
