Chiefs Defense Faces Rookie QB In Week 10
4 days agoThe Kansas City Chiefs defense will take on the Denver Broncos in Week 10. The Kansas City defense gave up 24 points last week against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers but still managed to rack up two sacks. The Chiefs have collected 17 sacks in eight games this season, but that may be difficult in Week 10. Broncos quarterback Bo Nix has been sacked 15 times this season, fewer times than Patrick Mahomes has been brought down. Nix has shown his ability as a rusher this season, ranking fifth in rushing yards among quarterbacks. That said, Kansas City has been among the best defenses at stopping the run, and they're aware of Nix's rushing ability. If the Chiefs continue their run-stopping ways, they should be able to contain the Broncos offense. The Chiefs former first-round pick, George Karlaftis, was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice but practiced fully the rest of the week and does not carry an injury designation heading into the contest. Karlaftis is a vital piece of the defensive unit, so it's positive news that he has been removed from the injury report. This week, the Kansas City defense is ranked as the fourth-best defense in our RotoBaller rankings, so they are among the best options. Fantasy managers should start them confidently.
