Coach Talk

Jacksonville Jaguars
Spotting mismatches is a huge component to winning in football. Thanks to a thrilling display by Jalen Hurts, we royally dominated Tennessee Titans at the quarterback position this past week (53.8 points to 20.04). Hurts had his way against the Titans defense, going 29-of-39 for 380 yards and three passing TDs.
Tennessee Titans
It's entirely possible that Tennessee Titans may be a better talent scout in real football than in fantasy. With just 24 targets combined in Week 13, their seven starting pass-catchers (six WR, one TE) apparently helped their teams' causes by running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
