Coach Talk

Frank's Team 3
Creating mismatches is a huge key to success in football. Fueled by an awesome outing from Patrick Mahomes, we tripled tommy's Unbelievable Team at the quarterback position this past week (34.9 points to 11.38). Mahomes torched the Cardinals secondary by recording 360 yards and five passing touchdowns.
tommy's Unbelievable Team
Unless tommy's Unbelievable Team wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing enough chances" is definitely not a reasonable excuse this time around. Our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) were targeted a healthy 28 times in Week 1. With only 16 total receptions, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
