Hey, we'll definitely take the win, bobtoo999's Optimal Team! Having said that, if we want to ramp our performance up to the next level, then here's one area where we can improve. Our quarterback was thoroughly overmatched this past week. Lamar Jackson went 21-of-29 for 318 yards and three touchdowns for BULLDOG, and all Patrick Mahomes could produce was a 24-for-35 day, with 235 yards and two passing scores. Let's put some more effort into scouting those upcoming defenses!
BULLDOG
Welp, we certainly can't gripe about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) collectively received a grand total of 26 targets in Week 2. Chemistry and timing appear to be issues as that group managed only 14 receptions.
