Tyreek Hill is a reliable weapon for Alex Smith and the Chiefs, but that’s sort of the problem here… A lot of guys are. Smith has the likes of Kareem Hunt, Travis Kelce, and even lesser known names like De’Anthony Thomas and Albert Wilson to target.

Hill hasn’t been getting the amount of targets fans expected this year and he only has two touchdowns on the year so far. While Hill is always a threat in the return game, he doesn’t appear to be getting as many opportunities in that department.

The Raiders secondary doesn’t scare me, but with how well Smith spreads the football around, I’m not confident starting any of the Chiefs receivers. Travis Kelce is someone you should always start (which is why I didn’t list him in the Start ‘Em section), but he’s the exception to the rule.

Keep Hill on the bench this week.
