The second bye-mageddon of the year came at the most inopportune time for the fantasy season, Week 14.

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.

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 […]

Week 14 Tight End Rankings for Fantasy Football: T.J. Hockenson, Greg Dulcich, David Njoku, Hunter Henry, Chigoziem Okonkwo

Week 14 sees someone not named Travis Kelce at the top of the tight ends rankings, but as always, there's a huge drop-off with each tier. The fantasy football playoffs are next week in most leagues, so this could be the last chance for fantasy managers on the playoff bubble to pinpoint the top streamers. […]

Kadarius Toney Won't Play In Week 14

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Kadarius Toney (hamstring) is out for the AFC West matchup with the Broncos. This will be the wideout's third consecutive absence, last seeing the field in Week 11 against the Los Angeles Chargers. Toney would have been considered a flex option for fantasy managers in deeper setups had he been […]

Jerick McKinnon A Low-End Flex Option In Week 14

Kansas City Chiefs running back Jerick McKinnon found the end zone last week and should remain involved in a Week 14 divisional clash with the Denver Broncos. Although Isiah Pacheco is running clearly ahead of McKinnon, the rookie has seen just six targets this season to McKinnon's 42. The veteran has out-snapped Pacheco on numerous […]

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 […]

Kadarius Toney Questionable To Face The Broncos

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Kadarius Toney (hamstring) is officially listed as questionable to play in Week 14 against the division-rival Denver Broncos on Sunday. Toney has missed the last two games, but he was able to practice in a limited fashion all week and has a chance to return this weekend. The former first-rounder […]
