Kansas City Defense Tasked With Slowing Down Bills

The Kansas City Chiefs defense took care of business last week in their Divisional Round matchup against the Houston Texans, holding them to 12 points on offense. Despite finishing the game without a takeaway, the Chiefs sacked C.J. Stroud eight times and walked away with the victory. The Chiefs will have a more challenging time […]

Harrison Butker To Be Counted On In AFC Championship

Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker will be relied upon in the AFC Championship game against the Buffalo Bills this Sunday. Butker was perfect on five kicks against the Texans last week, knocking through three field goals and two extra-point attempts. The veteran kicker had been a bit shaky in his return from knee surgery […]

DeAndre Hopkins Could Disappear Again In AFC Championship

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins did not have a single catch in the Divisional Round win over the Houston Texans. The veteran receiver was acquired by the Chiefs at the trade deadline and had an immediate impact. Hopkins' involvement dwindled as the season continued, and Xavier Worthy stepped into the WR1 role. The […]

Xavier Worthy To Be Second Option Against Buffalo

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy has solidified himself as a top option in the Chiefs passing attack. In the Divisional Round win over the Houston Texans, Worthy was the second option for Patrick Mahomes and the only receiver to catch a pass in the contest. Worthy reeled in five catches for 45 yards […]

Travis Kelce To Continue Historic Playoff Run

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce has his eyes set on a third-straight Super Bowl win, but first, he must take on the Buffalo Bills in the AFC Championship game this Sunday. Kelce set the playoff record for most games with 100 or more receiving yards in last week's Divisional Round win over the […]

Isiah Pacheco Too Inconsistent To Be Trusted

Kansas City Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco has been a shell of his former self since returning from injury. Even when given the opportunity to start last week's contest, Pacheco remained inefficient and ceded work to veteran Kareem Hunt. The 25-year-old handled five carries for 18 yards against the Texans, compared to eight carries, 44 […]

Kareem Hunt To Lead Backfield In AFC Championship

Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt was the second back on the field for Kansas City, but he proved to be the more reliable option down the stretch. Hunt rushed eight times for 44 yards and a touchdown compared to five carries and 18 yards for Isiah Pacheco. Given his steady performance and Pacheco's […]

Patrick Mahomes Off Injury Report, Ready For AFC Championship

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes was on the injury report with an ankle injury but practiced fully all week and does not have an injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup. Mahomes passed for 177 yards and a touchdown in last week's AFC Divisional Round win over the Houston Texans. The Chiefs quarterback will now […]

Bills Defense Looking To End Chiefs' Turnover-Free Streak

The Buffalo Bills D/ST faces a tough test in the form of the Kansas City Chiefs during Sunday's AFC Championship. Not only do the Chiefs boast an incredible offense led by Patrick Mahomes, but they've also displayed elite-level ball security. In fact, Kansas City owns the NFL's longest active turnover-free streak dating back to Week […]

Tyler Bass Remains High-Scoring Option For AFC Championship

Buffalo Bills kicker Tyler Bass remains a strong fantasy option for Sunday's AFC Championship against the Kansas City Chiefs. While the kicker position is somewhat of a crapshoot with just four teams remaining in the playoffs, Bass has a good chance to finish near or at the top of the final rankings when this week's […]

Dalton Kincaid Could Struggle To Produce In AFC Championship

Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid remains a risky option for fantasy managers and bettors ahead of Sunday's AFC Championship against the Kansas City Chiefs. The 25-year-old has struggled to live up to his first-round price tag from the 2023 draft, but in his defense, he isn't the only Bills pass-catcher delivering subpar numbers lately. […]

Round 4 PGA DFS Showdown Slate Picks - Farmers Insurance Open 2025

This week, the 2025 PGA Tour season has arrived in La Jolla, California, for the Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines. The first three rounds have been characterized by blustery and unpredictable conditions. Low scores were posted during the first round, while the second round saw historically high scores. Round 3 aligned more with expectations, […]

Mack Hollins Carries Low Floor Into AFC Championship

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Mack Hollins remains an unappealing fantasy option heading into Sunday's AFC Championship against the Kansas City Chiefs. While Hollins is actually the Bills' receiving touchdowns leader — he had five during the regular season — he hasn't carved out enough volume to justify deploying him in fantasy leagues or bet slips […]

Amari Cooper Remains Off Radar Against Kansas City

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Amari Cooper has been an unreliable fantasy option lately, and that's unlikely to change during Sunday's AFC Championship against the Kansas City Chiefs. The Bills added Cooper midseason to bolster their receiving room, but he has yet to cement himself as a dependable receiving threat week in and week out. Khalil […]

Keon Coleman Tough To Trust Against Chiefs Sunday

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Keon Coleman continues to be an unreliable fantasy option ahead of Sunday's AFC Championship against the Kansas City Chiefs. The rookie has progressed throughout his first season in the NFL, but he still remains an inferior option to Khalil Shakir in the Bills' passing attack. Coleman has just two catches over […]

Khalil Shakir Primed For Big Game Against Chiefs

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir is a top fantasy option heading into Sunday's AFC Championship against the Kansas City Chiefs. Shakir has been quite productive through two playoff games, catching 12 of his 13 targets for 128 yards through the air. While his next opponent, the Chiefs, are dominant on defense, they have a […]

Ty Johnson Tough To Trust In Backup Role Against Chiefs

Buffalo Bills running back Ty Johnson remains an unreliable fantasy option ahead of Sunday's AFC Championship against the Kansas City Chiefs. Johnson has consistently operated as the No. 2 running back behind James Cook, and he has also lost plenty of opportunities to rookie Ray Davis. Outside of an impressive Wild Card Weekend in which […]
