Coach Talk

Robert's Reasonable Team
Hey, the key to football is creating mismatches, right? Fueled by a solid outing from Patrick Mahomes, we tripled Oscar's Optimal Team at the quarterback position this past week (34.9 points to 11.38). Mahomes had his way against the Cardinals secondary, going 30-of-39 for 360 yards and five passing TDs.
Oscar's Optimal Team
Well, we certainly can't complain about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? Our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) collectively saw a hearty 23 targets in Week 1. Those players might need to hit the practice field, considering they recorded just 14 catches.
