Chiefs at Broncos Thursday Night Football DFS
Hello Rookie NFL Insight
The Matchup
On paper it looks like we may actually get an entertaining Thursday night game here. Fangio has his Broncos improving every week, but this week they find themselves a home underdog against the high-flying Chiefs. Everybody loves a home dog, but we just can not take Joe Flacco over Patrick Mahomes. Chiefs cover on the road.
Kansas City Chiefs Insight
With Chris Harris likely to stick to Tyreek Hill, there is a chance other guys are relevant here. Look for Travis Kelce to see a bump in targets as the Broncos are 28th defending opposing tight ends. We also would not sleep on Damien Williams: his snap count is skyrocketing and the Broncos run defense is allowing 29 DraftKings PPG to opposing backs.
Denver Broncos Insight
We know the Broncos can run the ball on the Chiefs. This team has been built to run the ball, and Rich Scangarello has done a great job getting his zone-run, play-action system rolling here. We like Phillip Lindsay to pop some big runs, and Courtland Sutton has been the primary target off of play-action.

2020 QB Sleepers
Is there such a thing as a sleeper QB? While it is unlikely we see a quarterback ever jump from a preseason ranking of 25 to a top 3 player at the position, recent history has shown us guys can certainly make the jump from 15 to 1 like Lamar Jackson did last season. Our Favorite Sleeper QB Picks for 2020 We typically do not see true sleeper QB’s in fantasy football. Instead what we tend to see is guys making the jump from one tier to the next. For…
2020 RB Sleepers
The running back position is easily the hardest to find sleepers for. This is what makes it the most important position in fantasy football. The guys at the top of the draft are typically really, really good, and the guys at the bottom of the draft typically worthless. That being said, we think we have five RB’s that are flying under the radar right now and offer significant upside where they are currently ranked. Let us know which sleeper RB of this group offers the most value at their current…
