Fantasy Football: Five Kansas City Chiefs To Play Vs Carolina Panthers
By Ben Almquist
Tyreek Hill – WR
Projection: 4 Catches for 80+ yards and 1 TD; 2 Carries for 20+ yards
The Kansas City Chiefs appear to have cuaght lightning in a bottle with Tyreek Hill, and Fantasy Football owners should look to capitalize. Hill didn’t have a big week against the Jaguars with Nick Foles at the helm. That leads me to believe that he will be extra hungry for a big play this week. With his ability, that’s an absolute possibility.
The Carolina Panthers secondary struggles a lot, and there isn’t a single player in the group that matches up well against Hill. Don’t be surprised when he gets a hold of a ball in open space and takes off. The Chiefs need to make it a point of getting him the ball, especially with Jeremy Maclin not at 100%.
I like Tyreek Hill a lot as a 3rd wide receiver or FLEX player this week in fantasy leagues. As a late season pickup, Hill could be a great steal as you head to the playoffs. In DFS leagues, Hill will be a gamble, but I think he’s worth it this week. One long touchdown could put you up big for very little money.
