Isiah Pacheco Has Strong Upside Against Texans

Kansas City Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco has had double-digit carries in five consecutive games, and on Sunday he gets to face a Houston Texans defense that's allowed the most rushing yards in the NFL. While Pacheco's lack of pass-catching upside impacts his fantasy ceiling, he should still be considered a solid RB2 play because […]

Patrick Mahomes Remains Top Fantasy Play In Week 15

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes might have a tougher matchup than expected on paper this week against a Houston Texans team that's allowed the fewest passing touchdowns in the NFL, but there's no reason for fantasy managers to consider benching him in Week 15. Mahomes has been the NFL's best quarterback this season, leading […]

Texans Defense Has Little Appeal In Week 15

The Houston Texans defense has had some good moments this season. The team's allowed an NFL-best 11 touchdown passes this season, for instance. But while the Texans secondary gives their defense fantasy appeal in the right matchup, Sunday's contest with the Kansas City Chiefs is unlikely to be that matchup. The Chiefs rank second in […]

Rex Burkhead Has Deep-League Appeal For Week 15

Houston Texans running back Rex Burkhead should see a boost in snaps on Sunday with starting running back Dameon Pierce (ankle) not playing against the Kansas City Chiefs. Burkhead has taken a backseat to Pierce this season, but the one time he played over 50% of the team's snaps, he ended up with 14 carries […]

Wide Receiver Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 15: Top Free Agent Adds Include Donovan Peoples-Jones, D.J. Chark, Chris Moore, Richie James

I've been re-watching The League for the first time in at least five years. It's a fun show, even if a lot of the things about how they play fantasy football are a little outdated. I'm not sure why I decided to start with that anecdote—it sounded more personal than just saying "the fantasy playoffs have arrived," which […]

Travis Kelce Catches Four Passes Against Denver

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce caught four passes for 71 yards in Sunday's win over the Denver Broncos. He was targeted nine times. This is now three weeks in a row where Kelce has caught exactly four passes. Defenses are making a concerted effort to not let Kelce beat them and it's somewhat […]

JuJu Smith-Schuster Finds End Zone Against Broncos

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster caught nine passes for 74 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's win over the Denver Broncos. He was targeted a team-high 11 times. Smith-Schuster hadn't topped 38 yards since Week 9 and hadn't found the end zone since Week 7, so don't assume that this performance is necessarily […]

Jerick McKinnon Catches Pair Of Touchdowns

Kansas City Chiefs running back Jerick McKinnon led the team in receiving yards in Sunday's win over the Denver Broncos, catching seven passes for 112 yards and two touchdowns. He also added 22 rushing yards on six carries. McKinnon shouldn't be counted on to produce on the ground, but his current role in the pass […]

Isiah Pacheco Has Solid Showing Against Broncos

Kansas City Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco carried the ball 13 times for 70 yards in Sunday's win over the Denver Broncos. He also caught three passes for 23 yards. While his backfield mate Jerick McKinnon will get the headlines for his two touchdowns, both of those were on pass plays, and Pacheco out-carried him […]

Patrick Mahomes Throws Three Touchdowns Against Denver

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes wasn't as sharp as usual in Sunday's win over the Denver Broncos, but he did toss three touchdowns in the game. Mahomes finished 28-for-42 for 352 yards, but he threw an uncharacteristic three interceptions. It was his most picks in a game all season and his first three pick […]

Amari Rodgers Catches Touchdown Against Dallas

Houston Texans wide receiver Amari Rodgers caught four passes for 57 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's loss to the Dallas Cowboys. His five targets were second on the team behind Chris Moore. Rodgers had played just 17 offensive snaps his joining the Texans coming into this one, but the team was down two key […]

Chris Moore Has Huge Game

Houston Texans wide receiver Chris Moore caught 10 of his 11 targets for 124 yards in Sunday's loss to the Dallas Cowboys. With Houston's top two wide receivers out with injury, Moore led the way. He was targeted on 40.7% of the team's pass attempts. We don't really know what to expect next week when […]

Dameon Pierce Injured Late In Week 14

Houston Texans running back Dameon Pierce left Sunday's loss to the Dallas Cowboys in the fourth quarter with an ankle injury, which kept him from returning to the contest. Pierce finished with 78 yards and a touchdown on 22 carries. Pierce has clear control of this backfield if healthy and is a weekly RB2 play, […]

Davis Mills, Jeff Driskel Split Snaps Against Cowboys

Houston Texans quarterbacks Davis Mills and Jeff Driskel both saw significant action in Sunday's loss to the Cowboys, with the team swapping between the two at various points. Mills was 16-for-21 with 175 yards and a pick, while Driskel was 4-for-6 for 38 yards and a touchdown. On the ground, Driskel added 36 yards on […]

Chiefs Defense Has Upside In Week 14

The Kansas City Chiefs defense disappointed last week against the Bengals, but they should be back in play for fantasy managers this week against the Denver Broncos. Denver has the NFL's worst scoring offense this season, averaging just 13.8 points per game. The team's actually done a solid job avoiding turnovers though, with the league's […]

Travis Kelce Looks To Bounce Back Against Broncos

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce is coming off of his worst fantasy showing of the season last week against the Bengals, catching four passes for 56 yards. He was targeted a season-low six times. Still, Kelce's "worst" game is better than what most tight ends do on a weekly basis, and he's had […]

JuJu Smith-Schuster A Risky Week 14 Option

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster was the team's clear No. 1 receiver as recently as early November, but he's now failed to go over 40 yards in three consecutive games. Last week, he was targeted four times, catching three passes for just 35 yards. Obviously, any receiver in a Patrick Mahomes-led offense could […]

Isiah Pacheco Should See Plenty Of Work In Week 14

Kansas City Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco has seen double-digit carries in four consecutive games, and there's no reason to think that should change on Sunday against the Broncos, as he's seeing the majority of the team's work on the ground despite only playing over 50% of the team's snaps twice this season. The Broncos […]

Patrick Mahomes Remains Top Fantasy Play In Week 14

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has a tougher matchup than usual this week against the Denver Broncos, who allow the third-fewest passing yards per game. But that doesn't mean fantasy managers should deviate at all from their usual path when it comes to Mahomes, which means that he should be deployed as a high-end […]

Texans Defense A Risky Week 14 Option

The Houston Texans defense shouldn't be on your fantasy radar heading into Sunday's contest against the Cowboys, though with six teams on a bye, some managers might be forced to at least consider them. If you find yourself in that position, just remember that the Cowboys rank third in the NFL in scoring offense and […]

Brevin Jordan Has Some Appeal In Week 14

Houston Texans tight end Brevin Jordan is coming off his best game of the season, catching four passes for 46 yards last week against the Browns. This week, he faces a tough Dallas Cowboys defense, but he has appeal in deep leagues because Houston won't have wide receivers Brandin Cooks (calf) and Nico Collins (foot), […]

Chris Moore An Intriguing Dart Throw Against Dallas

Houston Texans wide receiver Chris Moore could be worth playing in fantasy football in Week 14 against the Dallas Cowboys, especially for fantasy managers who are being hit hard by the bye week. Brandin Cooks (calf) has already been ruled out for Sunday's game against Dallas, and Nico Collins (foot) looks like he could be […]

Dameon Pierce Has Upside Against Cowboys

Houston Texans running back Dameon Pierce shook off a few tough weeks in last week's loss to Cleveland, running for 73 yards and also adding 22 receiving yards. It was his most all-purpose yards since Week 10. Now, he gets an enticing matchup on Sunday against a Dallas Cowboys team that ranks 24th in the […]
