JuJu Smith-Schuster Has Another Strong Showing

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster continues to separate himself from the rest of the team's wide receivers. Sunday night against the Titans, Smith-Schuster was targeted 12 times, second on the team behind tight end Travis Kelce. He caught 10 of them for 88 yards. The 10 receptions were a season-high for Smith-Schuster, as […]

Travis Kelce Posts Strong Numbers On Sunday Night

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce continues to be the best tight end in fantasy football. On Sunday night against the Titans, Kelce was targeted 17 times as the Chiefs took to the air for most of the game. He hauled in 10 of those for 106 yards. Kelce is KC's best offensive weapon […]

Clyde Edwards-Helaire Invisible Against Titans

Kansas City Chiefs running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire had four carries for five yards in Sunday's win over the Tennessee Titans. He also had one 14-yard reception. KC's run game was non-existent in this one, as quarterback Patrick Mahomes had 63 of the team's 77 rushing yards. At this point, fantasy managers shouldn't feel good about […]

Patrick Mahomes Throws For 446 Yards

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes was 43-for-68 for 446 yards in Sunday night's overtime win over the Tennessee Titans. He had a touchdown and an interception, which came off the fingertips of tight end Travis Kelce. Mahomes also added 63 rushing yards and a touchdown. As a whole, the Chiefs had just 77 rushing […]

Harrison Butker A Strong Fantasy Kicker For Week 9

Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker is a top-five kicking option for fantasy managers in Week 9 against the Tennessee Titans. Tennessee's pass defense has some issues, and the Chiefs should be able to move down the field fairly consistently, which should offer Butker ample chances to kick, whether it be via field goals or […]

Chiefs Defense Has Upside In Week 9

The Kansas City Chiefs defense has decent upside this week against a Tennessee Titans team that ranks 24th in scoring offense this season. The Chiefs rank just 23rd in scoring defense, so there's no guarantee that they'll hold the Titans offense in check as well as other teams have, but with a lot of teams […]

Marquez Valdes-Scantling A Boom/Bust Play In Week 9

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling has posted some puzzling receiving yardage totals in his last three games -- 90, zero and 111 yards. His speed makes him a threat to break off a long catch-and-run or haul in a deep pass from quarterback Patrick Mahomes, but his limited target share makes him just […]

Clyde Edwards-Helaire Is Risky Play In Week 9

Kansas City Chiefs running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire has just one game this season with double-digit carries and in the last game before the bye, he saw a season-low six carries, though he turned one of them into a touchdown. The Chiefs face the Titans in Week 9, who allow the fifth-fewest fantasy points to the […]

JuJu Smith-Schuster Looks To Continue Strong Run

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster had some mediocre showings earlier in the season, but he hit his stride before the bye, with five catches for 113 yards and a touchdown in Week 6 and then seven for 124 and a score in Week 7. It looks like Smith-Schuster is the big-play receiver for […]

Travis Kelce Is The Top Fantasy Tight End Option For Week 9

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce has been the best tight end in fantasy this season and there's no reason to think that changes on Sunday against a Titans team that allows the 10th-most fantasy points to tight ends this season. Kelce has either 98 or more yards or at least one touchdown in […]

Patrick Mahomes Should Excel Against Titans

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes should be considered a high-end QB1 play in Week 9 against the Tennessee Titans. The Titans currently rank 24th in the NFL in passing yards allowed, giving up 254 per game. Mahomes has thrown for over 300 yards in each of the last two games and will have a […]

NASCAR Truck Series: DraftKings DFS Lineup Picks for Phoenix Lucas Oil 150 (11/4/22)

The bad thing about having all three NASCAR series at the same track this weekend? Same day qualifying for the Truck and Xfinity races. That means this is publishing before we know starting spots, which really alters how you build a lineup. So, keep an eye out on social media for the starting grid and […]

Teagan Quitoriano Catches First Touchdown

Houston Texans tight end Teagan Quitoriano caught his first NFL touchdown on Thursday, bringing in a two-yard pass from quarterback Davis Mills in the first quarter of the 29-17 loss to the Eagles. It was the first catch of his NFL career. But if anyone thought that early touchdown would be the beginning of something, […]

Chris Moore Finds End Zone Against Eagles

Houston Texans wide receiver Chris Moore caught his second touchdown of the season on Thursday night against the Eagles, finishing with four catches for 43 yards. With Brandin Cook and Nico Collins out, Moore and Phillip Dorsett both played in elevated roles. Out of the two, it was Moore that finished with the best fantasy […]

Phillip Dorsett Leads Texans In Receiving

Houston Texans wide receiver Phillip Dorsett took advantage of his expanded role on Thursday, leading the team with 69 receiving yards. His five targets shared the team lead with Chris Moore. But this game was also a reminder of how few opportunities there are in this Texans passing attack, which is why Dorsett's little more […]

Dameon Pierce Offers Bright Spot For Texans

Houston Texans rookie running back Dameon Pierce continued to be the team's most-used player in Thursday's loss to the Eagles, as he carried the ball 27 times for 139 yards. Only one of the team's other five carries went to backup running back Rex Burkhead, highlighting the stranglehold Pierce has on the position. He wasn't […]

Davis Mills Throws Pair Of Touchdowns On Thursday

Houston Texans quarterback Davis Mills was 13-for-22 for 154 yards in Thursday's loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. He had a pair of touchdown passes, but was also picked twice. Mills added an additional 18 yards with his legs. Considering the defense that Houston was facing and the lack of available receiving options, it was a […]

Texans Defense Should Be Off Fantasy Radar On Thursday

The Houston Texans play host to the Philadelphia Eagles on Thursday night, and while Houston's MLB team kept the Philadelphia Phillies hitless and scoreless in the World Series on Wednesday, the NFL equivalents are unlikely to do so. The Texans rank 17th in the NFL in scoring defense, while the Eagles are fourth in scoring […]

Dameon Pierce Might Be Only Playable Texan In Week 9

Houston Texans running back Dameon Pierce remains a fantasy RB2 play heading into Thursday's game against the Philadelphia Eagles, even as the rest of his team is virtually unplayable against the league's fourth-best scoring defense. The Houston passing game is currently suffering from receiver injuries and is likely going to struggle to move the ball […]

Davis Mills A Risky Option In Week 9

Houston Texans quarterback Davis Mills should be mainly off the fantasy radar for Thursday night's contest against the Philadelphia Eagles. The Eagles allow the fourth-fewest passing yards per game, while the Texans throw for an average of 196 yards per contest, which ranks 25th in the NFL. With Nico Collins (groin) out and Brandin Cooks […]

Brandin Cooks Leads Texans In Receiving In Week 8

Houston Texans wide receiver Brandin Cooks caught four passes for 73 yards in Sunday's loss to the Titans. He was targeted six times.
