Fantasy Football: Five Kansas City Chiefs To Play Vs Jacksonville Jaguars
By Ben Almquist
Week 8 Top Scorers – 72 points
The Kansas City Chiefs had quite a day in the world of Fantasy Football last week. The Chiefs absolutely owned the Indianapoli Colts from start to finish. Generally we laugh at fantasy players that rely heavily on one team. Well, that strategy looks like it may have paid off in a big way last week. Here’s how the scoring broke down…
Nick Foles – QB: 16 points
Despite coming on in a relief role, Nick Foles put up a pretty good performance last week. Foles was able to attack down the field and connected on touchdowns to Tyreek Hill and Travis Kelce. Granted it was against an awful Colts defense, but it isn’t like the Jaguars have been much to scream about this year.
Travis Kelce – TE: 16 points
The Chiefs star tight end finally had the game that his Fantasy Football owners have been expecting. Kelce was a dominant force on the field, and was actually robbed of even more points on a bad call. Hopefully this marks the beginning of a new trend for the big man.
Tyreek Hill – WR: 15 points
The Chiefs may have hit a homerun with their fourth round pick. Tyreek Hill showcased his talent last week with an excellent catch on an underthrown ball. He would later take advantage of a busted coverage and fly into the endzone untouched. This might be the big play threat that Chiefs fans have been waiting for.
Chiefs D/ST: 13 points
Over the past couple of weeks, the Chiefs defense has started playing much better. They harrassed Colts quarterback Andrew Luck all day and held a good offense to just 14 points. With solid performances against Derek Carr, Drew Brees, and Andrew Luck, it’s tough to imagine Blake Bortles getting the best of them.
Cairo Santos – K: 12 points
Kickers get no respect in Fantasy Football, but Cairo Santos has been a steady performer this year. I get that kickers are usually considered expendable, but 12 points in Fantasy Football is almost never expendable. Expect more of the same moving forward.
Now, here is who you should play this week against the Jacksonville Jaguars…
