Coach Talk

IBLEEDREDANDWHITE
Identifying mismatches is a huge component to winning in football. Thanks to a stellar display from Joe Burrow, we doubled up Brad's Team at the quarterback position this past week (1,663 points to 679). Burrow orchestrated a big win over the Falcons, hitting 34 of 42 passes for 481 yards and three touchdowns.
Brad's Team
There's a possibility that Brad's Team would be a better GM in real football than in fantasy. Seeing only nine total targets this past week, their four starting pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) apparently contributed primarily by running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
