Coach Talk

DaChiefs Miner
A big key to success in football is exploiting the mismatches. Thanks to a stellar performance from Lamar Jackson, we doubled up CommanderInChief's at the quarterback position this past week (1,446 points to 617). Jackson was a bright spot in a close loss to the Dolphins, going 21-of-29 for 318 yards and three passing TDs.
CommanderInChief's
Talk about under-utilized. The starting RBs for CommanderInChief's collectively logged just three targets this past week. Instruct those offensive coordinators to set up a couple of screen plays in Week 3!
