Fantasy Football: Five Kansas City Chiefs To Play Vs Chargers

Week 16 Top Scorers – 78 points

Travis Kelce – 22 points

Fantasy Football owners were ecstatic to see Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce finally find his way to the endzone. The fact that it came on an 80 yard pass play didn’t hurt anything either. Over the second half of the season, Kelce has emerged as the top tight end in the NFL. He has already eclipsed the 1000 yard mark on the season.

Alex Smith – 21 points

He has taken a ton of heat this season, but Alex Smith was certainly locked in last week. Unfortunately, his receivers weren’t quite as locked in, or else his point total would have been much higher. Still, Smith was able to put up points through the air and on the ground. That was a nice reward to his fantasy owners.

Tyreek Hill – 15 points

Another week, another big game for Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill. The rookie speedster has been phenomenal this season and is closing the gap with Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliot in several categories. Hill should end up being a serious rookie of the year candidate, though Elliot likely wins the award.

Chiefs D/ST – 11 points

The Kansas City Chiefs defense will surrender a lot of yards, but ultimately they keep opponents out of the endzone. This unit also creates a lot of turnovers, can score points on their own, and are able to get after the quarterback. So it should be no surprise to Fantasy Football owners that they consistently put up good fantasy performances.

Demetrius Harris – 9 points

You know, it’s really quite a shame. Demetrius Harris actually left quite a few points on the board. A dropped touchdown pass, an earlier fumble, and a lucky hand on Harris’s shoulder with his knee still down leaves him as the “what could’ve been” player of the week. If Harris had maximized his opportunities, he would’ve crossed the 20 point mark. Still, not a bad night for a backup tight end.
