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.

2022 Fantasy QB Sleepers
The past decade has seen the QB position dramatically decrease in overall value. Drew Brees and Tom Brady were once first-round picks, now there is real viability to the zero-QB draft strategy. Owners have leveraged this strategy by prioritizing the more unpredictable, but higher value positions and then finding week-to-week supplements for their roster. We believe there is viability to this strategy – with the caveat that QBs should be picked up for three or four weeks at a time to save waiver priority. Here is a look at three…
2022 Fantasy RB Sleepers
The only guarantee at running back is that there are no guarantees at running back. Year in and year out there are a handful of new stars, while the previous year’s stars fall short. Receiving is valued at an all-time high. PPR leagues will especially prioritize those who can make an impact out of the backfield. Here’s a look at three backs in different situations currently drafted outside of the top 60 at the position. Dameon Pierce (63) Pierce is one of the most exciting rookie prospects in the league…
2022 Fantasy WR Sleepers
The value of wide receivers is at an all-time high. Depth at the position has made it difficult to stand out with a couple of big names, but failure to meet the standard will handicap any team. Here’s a look at players currently drafted outside the top 75 at the position who may help secure points week in and week out. Curtis Samuel (77) Samuel never had a chance to get things moving in 2021. He signed with Washington and was meant to appear opposite fellow Buckeye Terry McLaurin, but…
2022 Fantasy TE Sleepers
Tight end has become the great equalizer. Travis Kelce or Mark Andrews can elevate an otherwise average roster to competing week-in and week-out. A committee approach resulting in Mo Alie-Cox or David Njoku, though, can undercut a strong week from the rest of the team. The position has become all about value and target share. Tight ends can make an impact as regular contributors, but the gross imbalance in scoring means high draft picks or getting lucky. Here’s a look at three players currently outside the top 20 of the…
