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.

QB Sleepers for 2021
When it comes to picking fantasy sleepers, the quarterback position is typically the hardest to find late-round value. Looking at last season’s fantasy numbers, Justin Herbert, Aaron Rodgers, and Kyler Murray were new to the top 10 fantasy quarterbacks. That being said, Murray was QB6 in last season’s ADP and Rodgers was QB11. Really, Herbert was the only real sleeper that finished the season as a top 10 fantasy QB. Sorry Jalen Hurts believers, he is no longer a sleeper at his current QB8 ADP. We still love his fantasy…
2021 Fantasy TE Sleepers
The tight end position has been brutal for fantasy owners over the past few seasons. So much so that several fantasy experts have made the argument that Travis Kelce should be a top-five pick this season. Kelce was 3.3 PPG better than the TE2 (Darren Waller) and 8 FPPG better than the TE3 (Robert Tonyan). We are not on board with taking a tight end in the first round, but if you miss out on one of the top three guys, you better have some quality sleepers you can target…
2021 Fantasy WR Sleepers
Last week we shared our initial 2021 sleeper running back picks, today we shift our attention to the wide receiver position. Wide receiver sleepers are every bit as important as RB sleepers, however for completely different reasons. There is no debating that position scarcity exists at the running back and tight end positions. There are only a handful of consistent fantasy tight ends, and once they are gone you are left patchworking the position all season. At running back, if you don’t get one or two guys from the top…
2021 Fantasy RB Sleepers
There is no position as thin or as important to fantasy owners as running back. If you don’t get two in the first three rounds of your draft, you had better find value in late-round sleepers or it’s going to be a long fantasy season. In this article we identify four mid-to-late round sleeper running back picks to have on your radar. Each of these RB’s is currently being drafted at least two rounds later than our rankings dictate they should be and each has upside that could make them…
