Fantasy Football: Five Kansas City Chiefs To Play Vs Denver
By Ben Almquist
Chiefs Defense/Special Teams
Projection: 4 Sacks, 3 INTs, and >20 points
The Kansas City Chiefs defense was beat up last week and pulled a blank in Fantasy Football. I don’t see that happening twice in a row. The Chiefs should be a little bit healthier this week and better able to get off the field in key situations. I also expect this group to play with a little bit more of an edge with Justin Houston now having a game under his belt.
Over the past few weeks, Denver Broncos quarterback Trevor Siemian has not been good. He’s thrown four interceptions in the last three games, all against poor secondaries. The Chiefs pass rush should be able to harass him all day, giving the secondary a chance to make plays. This is one match up that absolutely gives the Chiefs an advantage.
The Kansas City Chiefs defense is a top tier unit in Fantasy Football. The BYE week is behind them, so they are an excellent league play. As a DFS play this week, I like them a lot. Denver hasn’t been able to make use of its star receivers with their struggling quarterback. The run game is dangerous, but beat up right now. This match up favors the Chiefs.
