Fantasy Football: Five Kansas City Chiefs To Play Vs Denver Broncos

Cairo Santos – K

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

Fantasy Football owners have to be getting frustrated with the Kansas City Chiefs offense right now. For whatever reason, Andy Reid seems to be getting less aggressive in the second half of games. That means the Chiefs tend to stop scoring points late in the game. Specifically, that limits the ability of Cairo Santos to put points on the board.

However, this week seems like a golden opportunity for the Chiefs kicker. A division rival, in a must-win game, at home for the last time this regular season, against a weak defense. It is time for the Chiefs to make a statement. If the offense can do that, then Santos will be called on quite a bit, and his fantasy owners will reap the benefits.

At this point in the season, you really shouldn’t be trading out kickers all that much. Especially if you have a guy on a playoff contender. Those kickers will be seeing the most action which means the most opportunities to score points. As a DFS play, Santos is just as good as any other option you’ll have.
