Fantasy football Week 3 winners and losers (Taylor's Version)
It seems that Travis Kelce shooting his shot at Taylor Swift worked out, for both him and the Kansas City Chiefs. The defending Super Bowl champions' offense caught life against the Chicago Bears, with the superstar singer in attendance to watch her new beau in action.
At the end of the day, the score was a 41-10 rout in favor of Kansas City as Bears QB Justin Fields found himself in the same old tired, lonely place. As for Kelce though, this is not where the storyline ends.
Winner: Kansas City Chiefs TE Travis Kelce

Oh, my, my, my, my; the Chiefs offense finally showed up, and their All-Pro tight end played a huge part in that. After missing Week 1 entirely and a so-so Week 2, Kelce showed out with Swift watching in Week 3 and looked like the guy fantasy football players selected at the top of their drafts.
The 33-year-old caught seven of eight targets for 69 yards and a touchdown, giving him 19.9 fantasy points this week, and a score in consecutive weeks. With Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs stuck in second gear all season, they got to hang 41 points on the Bears. Some might go as far as to say Swift might be their good luck charm.
No. 87 was born in 1989 and after today, Kelce might be ready to take his fledgling relationship with his girl to New Heights. The Kansas City offense is officially back on the menu with their star pass catcher leading the charge.
