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

Chiefs Defense/Special Teams

Projection: 5 Sacks, 3 INTs, 1 FF, and > 15 points

There is absolutely no reason why the Kansas City Chiefs defense shouldn’t be teeing off this week in Fantasy Football. That is especially true of a pass rush that has been held in check recently, but now faces a struggling offensive line. Bob Sutton’s unit needs to be in full out attack mode this week, forcing Trevor Siemian into bad positions.

The Broncos offense has taken a huge step backwards recently as the run game has simply fallen apart. Denver is throwing the ball 40 times a game as they try to keep pace with opponents. That is a call for the Chiefs to bring heat on almost every play. KC should also have some added confidence in their corners in this situation. Marcus Peters is who he is, but the emergence of Terrance Mitchell is really the key here as he is a clear upgrade (for now) over Phillip Gaines.

As we close out the season, you need to have this opportunistic Chiefs defense in your lineup. They have favorable match ups remaining this year and should be able to give you a huge boost in your championship rounds. For DFS play this week, I absolutely love the Chiefs defense. Be on the right side of this decision.
