Fantasy Football: Five Kansas City Chiefs To Play Vs Carolina Panthers

Week 9 Top Scorers – 50 points

It wasn’t a good Fantasy Football week for the Kansas City Chiefs offense.  Only quarterback Nick Foles and wide receiver Albert Wilson reached double digits for the Chiefs.  Neither player was heavily used by fantasy owners.  Meanwhile, Jeremy Maclin left the game early on and added no point value.  Tight end Travis Kelce was also very limited before his ejection.

Cairo Santos – 15 points

Of all the Fnatasy Football options the Chiefs offered, it was kicker Cairo Santos who had the standout day.  Santos was solid throughout the game and hit every single kick.  That shouldn’t be surprising to Chiefs fans as the Brazilian kicker has become very reliable over the past year.  However, it’s usually not a good thing for a kicker to be the top fantasy scorer.

Nick Foles – 11 points

Well, the Kansas City Chiefs do not have a quarterback controversy.  Nick Foles saw to that last weekend when he had a very uninspiring performance.  Foles ended up as the Chiefs second highest scoring fantasy player, but it wasn’t a good day for him.  Quarterbacks are expected to score into the mid teens at the least.  Foles didn’t even do that.

Albert Wilson – 10 points

Fantasy Football players who used Chiefs players probably let out a simultaneous grown when Albert Wilson caught the Chiefs lone touchdown on Sunday.  Wilson has seen limited playing time this year as he has been relegated to a depth role.  That killed his fantasy value, but still makes him a weapon for the team.  That’s frustrating for fantasy owners, but not Chiefs fans.

Chiefs Defense – 8 points

The Kansas City Chiefs may have had a better day for you depending on how your league scoring is set up.  However, based on the most basic settings, it was just an ok performance.  I don’t know how that is possible for a team that forced four turnovers, grabbed a pair of sacks, and held the opponent to just 14 points.  Go figure.

Charcandrick West – 6 points

I’m going to have to take the beating on this one.  I thought Charcandrick West would be a top Fantasy Football play last week.  However, the Chiefs running back had tough sledding against a Jaguars defense that simply did not respect Nick Foles.  The Jaguars loaded up the box, sent run blitzes, and focused on bottling up West.  It almost worked.
