Fantasy Football 2018: Thursday Night Football Start Em, Sit Em Week 15
SIT ‘EM
It’s a good idea to keep the Chargers D on the bench too because um… Have you seen this Chiefs offense play? Patrick Mahomes scores touchdowns like nobody’s business and the guy throws no-look passes and left-handed passes.
In other words, the Chargers defense, which is usually a great fantasy option, probably isn’t a viable starter this week. They’ll get pressure on Mahomes, but it’s unlikely they’re able to slow down the young quarterback enough for the fantasy points to be in the double digits.
LA allowed Mahomes to throw for four touchdowns in week one and that was away from Arrowhead. With a rocking and rolling environment for a primetime game, Mahomes could very well replicate those numbers on Thursday night.
Only go with the Chargers defense if you have nothing better sitting on the bench. They might struggle in week 15.
