Chiefs Defense/Special Teams

Projection: 3 Sacks, 2 INTs, 1 FR, and >20 Points Allowed

The Kansas City Chiefs have been one of the best Fantasy Football plays over the past few weeks.  Since their BYE week, the Chiefs have been 1st in takeaways and 2nd in points allowed.  They have done this against three of the top offenses in the NFL.  That makes the Chiefs a solid play every week.

However, some Fantasy Football owners will be leery of playing the Chiefs this week.  The Carolina Panthers are, statistically, one of the best offensive teams in the NFL.  However, on further review, I have found that these stats are largely padded by games against some of the worst defenses in the league.

You should have the Chiefs defense on your roster and play them every week.  We have seen in past seasons that the defense gets stronger as the year goes.  That should be even moreso this year with Justin Houston set to return soon.  As a DFS play, they are going to be worth it on most weeks.
