Coach Talk

Gamblers
The key to success in football is exploiting the mismatches. Thanks to a solid performance by Jalen Hurts, we almost tripled Broz Foozballaz at the quarterback position this past week (41.02 points to 14.84). Hurts went 26-for-31 for 333 yards, one TD, and an INT in a 24-7 win over the Vikings.
Broz Foozballaz
Hey, it's possible that Broz Foozballaz could be a better talent scout in the NFL than in fantasy football. With only 10 total targets in Week 2, their four starting pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) apparently did a superb job blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
