Miami Dolphins outperformed expectations, emerging victorious with a 303.08-224.78 win over Los Angeles Chargers, who fell short of projections. Los Angeles Chargers grabbed a 145.08-point lead on Thursday behind standout showings from Mike Williams, who caught 8 passes for 113 yards and a touchdown for 28.3 points, and Justin Herbert, who passed for 334 yards and 3 touchdowns (21.78 points).

Coach Talk

Miami Dolphins
This sport is all about finding the mismatches. Fueled by an awesome showing from Tua Tagovailoa, we tripled Los Angeles Chargers at the quarterback position this past week (67.48 points to 21.78). Tagovailoa went 36-for-50 for 469 yards, six TDs, and two INTs in a four-point win over the Ravens.
Los Angeles Chargers
Well, Los Angeles Chargers, this week's problem is fairly easy to spot. Choosing to start Matt Breida, Austin Johnson and Jalen Guyton in a tough fantasy matchup... we'll just move on from this and assume it's not going to happen again?
