Coach Talk

Kansas City Chiefs
Good work, Kansas City Chiefs. Deploying a lineup that won by more than 90 points this past matchup. We should keep this momentum as we move on to our next matchup in Week 13.
New York Jets
It's entirely possible that New York Jets could be a better GM in real football than in fantasy. Accumulating just 15 targets combined in Week 12, their four wide receivers apparently helped their teams' causes by running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
