Fantasy Football: Five Kansas City Chiefs To Play Vs Jacksonville Jaguars
By Ben Almquist
Kansas City Chiefs Defense/Special Teams
Projection: 4 Sacks, 1 INT, 1 FR, and > 20 Points Allowed
Over the past few weeks, the Kansas City Chiefs D/ST has been about as solid as it gets in Fantasy Football. They have posted scores of 11, 6, and 13 since the BYE week. Over the course of those games, the Chiefs have held three of the best offensive teams in the league to three scores or less. They have also added six turnovers, nine sacks, and one defensive touchdown in those games.
The Jaguars offense…well, it is just bad this year. There was a lot of talk in the preseason about this unit having a lot of talent. However, it just hasn’t shown up so far. Quarterback Blake Bortles is top ten in times sacked and top five in interceptions thrown. The Chiefs defense should be feasting on him this week.
After a rocky start to the season, it appears that the Chiefs D/ST is once again a top tier play. With the BYE week behind them and the return of Justin Houston looming, this should be a priority addition if they are available. As a DFS play, I can’t think of a defense I would rather have this week.
