Fantasy Football: 2016 Kansas City Chiefs Recap
By Ben Almquist
Kansas City Chiefs Top Fantasy Football Scorers: #3
Tyreek Hill – WR
Kansas City Chiefs `wide receiver Tyreek Hill took the Fantasy Football world by storm in the second half of the season. The rookie receiver utilized his big play ability to light the NFL on fire, much to the joy of those Fantasy Football owners that had picked him up. It almost begs the question as to why the Chiefs didn’t feature him earlier.
Here is how Tyreek Hill’s performance stacked up in 2016:
- 144 points (9 per week)
- T-11th out of all WRs
- Owned by 79.4% of teams
- Started by 59.8% of teams
To finish 11th of all wide receivers despite not being heavily featured in the offense until later in the season is just ridiculous. Tyreek Hill put some of his peers to shame. In fact, it’s genuinely difficult to remember the last time someone had that kind of a performance. Especially as a rookie.
2017 Draft Position: 3rd Round
Tyreek Hill is going to be a hot commodity in Fantasy Football leagues next year. As a big play threat from any part of the field, he’s got the ability to score at any time. Hill is an equal threat as a receiver, running back, and return man. On top of that, teams are struggling to find ways to cover him, which means he’s going to get the ball.
