KC Chiefs Vs Atlanta Falcons: Rating the Match-Ups
Running Back
Ware or Freeman?
The Kansas City Chiefs’ running game has been pretty much non-existent for several weeks now, so that’s likely why I’m going to lean towards Atlanta on this one.
Yes, Spencer Ware has the ability to be a dominant running back, but we haven’t seen it lately. Devonta Freeman, on the other hand, is having yet another impressive season.
He’s not as hot as a season ago, but Freeman has 729 rushing yards and five touchdowns. Ware has 705 yards and only two touchdowns. The Chiefs need to get him going or they stand little to no chance in this game.
Jones has a legitimate chance of taking over this game all on his own.
Advantage: Atlanta
Wide Receiver
Maclin/Conley or Jones?
Hahahahahahahahahahahaha!
Whether it’s Jeremy Maclin returning to action on Sunday or Chris Conley making another start in the number one spot, this one is no contest. Julio Jones is one of the best wide receivers in the entire league.
Jones has a legitimate chance of taking over this game all on his own. He’s already at 1,140 yards through 11 games this season and has five touchdowns. Neither of the Chiefs wide receivers even come close.
