Darrel Williams Sees Little Action Against Steelers
Kansas City Chiefs running back Darrel Williams saw plenty of usage in their preseason opener, but was kept quiet during the second preseason contest.

Harrison Butker Remains Reliable Option
Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker is once again going to be one of the better kickers in fantasy football this year. Butker is coming off a solid season with the Chiefs and should have just about the same fantasy value in 2019. This preseason Butker has made all six PATs and has made one […]
Sammy Watkins Has Slow Start to Camp
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Sammy Watkins has not been as involved in the preseason as some may have expected coming into the season.

Travis Kelce Catches One Pass for Five Yards
Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce caught just one pass for five yards against the Steelers in Week 2 of the preseason.

Tyreek Hill Catches One Pass for Six Yards
Tyreek Hill caught just one pass for six yards against the Steelers in week two of the preseason. The Chiefs starters’ were expected to play more, but the field conditions limited them to just a drive. Hill remains a solid WR1 and can be safely drafted in the second round. Carry on.

Stop that Hype Train! Jared Cook
Considering how the NFL (like every other sport nowadays) is skewing younger, it must be acknowledged that Jared Cook poses a great case for veterans to fight for consideration as valuable pieces.

Heading into your fantasy football draft, remember that quarterback is not a position you need to target early in the draft.
