NFL Rookies to Watch for Fantasy Football Week 5 Including Kenny Pickett, Brian Robinson, Isiah Pacheco, Christian Watson
Quite a few first-year players have already made strong impacts as professionals. The wide receivers in particular have been impressive. New Orleans Saints wideout Chris Olave is ninth at his position in receiving yards through four weeks. Atlanta's Drake London has also produced at a high level, accumulating 18 catches for 231 yards and two […]
Chiefs Defense A Risky Play In Week 5
The Kansas City Chiefs defense faces a tough matchup in Week 5 against the Las Vegas Raiders, who rank 10th in the NFL in points per game. The Chiefs, meanwhile, rank 20th in scoring defense.

Marquez Valdes-Scantling Remains Risky
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling finally got going down the field last week as he caught three passes for 63 yards, but overall, the former Packers wideout has struggled to get going in his new digs.

Travis Kelce Should Be Top TE Play In Week 5
Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce should be considered a top tight end option for Monday night's contest against the Raiders. The only downside for fantasy is that the game is on Monday, limiting him from being in the player pool for a lot of DFS contests/ Kelce has finished with over 100 yards […]
Patrick Mahomes Should Thrive Against Raiders
Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes should be locked in as a fantasy QB1 for Monday's contest against the Las Vegas Raiders. The Raiders rank 22nd in the NFL in passing yards allowed per game at 253, while the Chiefs rank seventh in passing yards per game. Mahomes is always a fantasy QB1, but a […]
