Coach Talk

And Totally Redeem Yourself
Football is all about taking advantage of the mismatches. Despite a mediocre performance from Josh Allen, we doubled up The Lovely Lads at the quarterback position this past week (26.8 points to 13.1). Allen went 18-for-34 for 205 yards in a 20-17 loss to the Jets.
The Lovely Lads
There's a real possibility that The Lovely Lads could be a better talent scout in the NFL than in fantasy football. Accumulating only 10 total targets in Week 9, their four starting pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) apparently made most of their contributions by running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
