Fantasy Football: Five Kansas City Chiefs To Play Vs Atlanta Falcons
By Ben Almquist
Tyreek Hill – WR
Projection: 6 Catches for 60+ yards and 1 TD; 2 Carriers for 20+ yards; 1 PR for TD
Over the past several weeks, Fantasy Football owners have found a bit of a wild card in Kansas City Chiefs receiver Tyreek Hill. Hill has slowly become a fairly reliable source of fantasy points each week. That culminated in last week’s 23 point performance where the rookie receiver showcased all of his talents.
As a catch and run receiver, Hill should have a lot of success against the Falcons. He should even get a few deep ball attempts as Atlanta has lost top corner Desmond Trufant. Fantasy owners should also expect a rushing attempt or two as the Chiefs love to use Hill on jet sweeps. This week’s game truly shapes up as an ideal match up for Tyreek Hill.
Tyreek Hill should already be in your starting lineup as a FLEX option. However, you can move him into the WR2 spot if you’re handcuffed, or if you’re just feeling a little froggy. I absolutely love Tyreek Hill as a DFS play this week as he has the potential to rip off big plays in multiple areas. This could very well be his best game to date.
