Fantasy Football: Five Chiefs To Play Vs Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Cairo Santos – K

Projection: 3/3 FGs (Long of 40+); 3/3 XPs

There isn’t a single more reliable Fantasy Football player for the Kansas City Chiefs than kicker Cairo Santos. That is still a little embarassing to write, but it is true. At least it is true for the right reasons as Santos has been on a bit of a roll in recent weeks. The Brazilian kicker has both quality accuracy and distance.

I think the Chiefs will score a good bit against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Even though the Chiefs offense hasn’t been playing well recently, I do think they will move the ball and get into scoring range. KC should also be able to take advantage of turnovers that will leave Santos in range to strike.

Kickers are often devalued in Fantasy Football, but a reliable one is valuable. With the BYE week behind him, Santos is a solid kicker to have on your roster. He should consistently get plenty of field goal opportunities. As a DFS play, I’m taking him nearly every week. There is little difference in value of kickers, so there is no fear of over-spending.
