Coach Talk

The UTI's
Hey, the key to football is finding the mismatches, right? Fueled by a thrilling performance by Joe Burrow, we doubled up FATBOYS BUHBEES at the quarterback position this past week (28.5 points to 11.86). Burrow went 40-for-52 for 375 yards, three TDs, and two INTs in a 22-18 win over the Patriots.
FATBOYS BUHBEES
Well, we certainly can't complain about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? Our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) collectively saw a whopping 36 targets in Week 16. With only 18 total catches, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
