Coach Talk

DaChiefs Miner
Creating mismatches is a big key to success in football. We really took that to heart this week by doubling up KC Warpaint at the wide receiver position (778 points to 330).
KC Warpaint
KC Warpaint will find it tough to complain about lack of opportunities this past week. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) collectively got a healthy 18 targets in Week 7. With just 11 total receptions, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
