Coach Talk

Kingslayer
Hey, the key to football is spotting the mismatches, right? Thanks to a solid outing by Lamar Jackson, we doubled up Drews' Crew at the quarterback position this past week (48.42 points to 22.3). Jackson went 18-for-29 for 218 yards, four TDs, and an INT in a 37-26 triumph over the Patriots.
Drews' Crew
Registering only four targets this past week, it appears that the starting RBs for Drews' Crew should remind their QBs to get them more involved (and dial up a screen play or two).
