Coach Talk

SuperbPremonitions
Hey, exploiting mismatches is the key to football, right? Fueled by a stellar display by Joe Burrow, we doubled up Jackie Treehorn Crew at the quarterback position this past week (25 points to 10.16). Burrow went 23-for-36 for 275 yards and three TDs (plus no INTs) in a 27-12 win over the Jets.
Jackie Treehorn Crew
Hey, it's possible that Jackie Treehorn Crew may be a better GM in the NFL than in fantasy football. Seeing just 19 targets as a group this past week, their five starting pass-catchers (four WR, one TE) apparently helped their teams' causes by running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
