Coach Talk

Jay's Mind-Blowing Team
Earning the win is most important, Jay's Mind-Blowing Team, but we've also identified one spot where we can improve as a team. Our starting QB was significantly outplayed by the opposition. Jalen Hurts went 18-of-32 for 243 yards and zero touchdowns for Paranoid, and all Aaron Rodgers could muster was a 22-for-34 day for 195 passing yards and an ugly interception. Let's work overtime to get on the same page with our receivers this week!
Paranoid
It's entirely possible that Paranoid could be a better talent scout in real football than in fantasy. With only seven total targets in Week 1, their three starting pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) apparently contributed primarily by running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
