Coach Talk

KC CRAZIES CULT!!!!!
Spotting mismatches is a huge key to success in football. We really took that to heart this week by doubling up TheNigerianNightmare at the wide receiver position (969 points to 438).
TheNigerianNightmare
TheNigerianNightmare will find it tough to complain about lack of opportunities this past week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) combined to receive a grand total of 19 targets in Week 3. Chemistry and timing seem to be issues as that group recorded just 11 catches.
