Despite top scorer Kelce, Cool Brees fall to Donald Trump, 123.94-107.48

Travis Kelce racked up 22.86 points for Cool Brees, the best total in the matchup and seventh-highest in the league this week, but it wasn't enough to overcome Donald Trump, who earned a 123.94-107.48 win.

Coach Talk

Donald Trump
Yo, Donald Trump, you really made a statement to your leaguemates with this performance. Not only did you win by 16.46 points, you also jumped up a whopping three spots in the league standings... directly into the thick of playoff contention
Cool Brees
Cool Brees may find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunity this past week. Our five pass-catchers (three WR, two TE) collectively got a grand total of 34 targets in Week 11. Those players should spend extra practice time working with their QBs, considering they hauled in just 20 catches.
