Captain Pick
Running back Jerrick McKinnon
Over the last few weeks, McKinnon has been on fire — and his best game of the season came against the Broncos in Week 14. Coming back home to Arrowhead, I expect an even bigger game. While he’s No. 2 on the depth chart, McKinnon plays like he’s No. 1.
Flex Picks
Quarterback Patrick Mahomes
Mahomes is this season’s clear MVP — and one should never bench the MVP. The last time these two teams met up, Mahomes had 25.78 fantasy points. While that isn’t great for him, I expect him to put up more points against a weakened Denver team.
Tight end Travis Kelce
Kelce didn’t have a great game against the Broncos in Week 14, putting up just 11.1 fantasy points. But the Chiefs are playing for the top spot and Kelce is a major part of the offense. And as the league’s No. 1 tight end, he should get back to form soon.
Wide receiver Skyy Moore
I know I always say Skyy Moore, but this week I really wanted to say Mecole Hardman. Unfortunately, Hardman is not being activated from injured reserve as expected. This doesn’t leave Moore open for a big game because he’s not getting offensive snaps. But with $1,300 remaining in cap salary, he’s the best you can get.
Wide receiver Jerry Jeudy
Over the last four weeks, Jeudy has put up numbers — especially against Kansas City three weeks ago. Against the Chiefs’ corners and safeties, Jeudy should once again have a field day.
Wide receiver Kendall Hinton
Hinton is a value pick here. There were too many factor players, but too little money. I don’t expect Hinton to do great things, but someone needs to fill the roster.
This is a big game for the Chiefs. If they win and the Buffalo Bills lose on Monday night, the Chiefs get control of their own destiny for the AFC’s No. 1 seed. Right now, the bye is more important than ever. Kansas City desperately needs it.
As always... bet responsibly.
