Coach Talk

Forródgers
Football is all about spotting the mismatches. Thanks to a solid outing from Daniel Jones, we royally dominated Big Dick Decker at the quarterback position this past week (29.06 points to 4.48). Jones went 30-for-42 for 334 yards, one TD, and an INT in a 27-24 loss to the Vikings.
Big Dick Decker
There's a decent chance that Big Dick Decker would be a better talent scout in the NFL than in fantasy football. With only 10 total targets this past week, their three wide receivers apparently contributed to their respective offenses by running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
