Coach Talk

KayCee Chiefs
Props to you, KayCee Chiefs. Nice job assembling a lineup that earned 90.5 points this past week. We should keep this momentum going as we move on to our next matchup in Week 8.
Spoon
Hey, it's possible that Spoon might be a better talent scout in real football than in fantasy. With only seven total targets this past week, their two starting pass-catchers (two WR, zero TE) apparently made most of their contributions by blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
