Coach Talk

GX s99 TLG 20 U
Hey, finding mismatches is the key to football, right? Thanks to a solid performance from Lamar Jackson, we doubled up SBR MonStars at the quarterback position this past week (53.92 points to 25.08). Jackson went 18-for-29 for 218 yards, four TDs, and an INT in a 37-26 victory over the Patriots.
SBR MonStars
"Not getting enough looks" really isn't an excuse this week for SBR MonStars. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) combined to get a grand total of 38 targets in Week 3. Those players might need to hit the practice field, considering they notched just 21 receptions.
