Chiefs Defense/Special Teams

Projection: 4 sacks, 2 INTs, 1 FR, and >20 points

There may not be a more dominant unit in all of the NFL right now than the Kansas City Chiefs defense, and that is being reflected in Fantasy Football. The Chiefs defense is thriving on sacks and turnovers, while also consistently holding their opponents under 20 points. This group is truly taking over football games.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers don’t offer much in the way of offensive firepower. Jameis Winston is a decent quarterback in his second year, and Mike Evans is an excellent receiver. However, the Bucs don’t have much of a run game and no real passing options outside of Evans. The Chiefs should have little problem in bottling him up.

The BYE week is behind the Chiefs and that makes them a quality defense to have on your fantasy league roster. There are a couple of good offenses left for the Chiefs to face, but none that should make them a bad play. For your DFS roster, the Chiefs defense is an excellent play this week and should be able to put together a double digit performance.
