NFL DFS: Sunday Night Football Showdown – Titans at Chiefs
The Line: Chiefs -13.5 | O/U 45.5
We have another lopsided matchup and Sunday Night Football with the Titans visiting the Chiefs. It has taken me some extra time to write this article, as I decide if I want my main lineup to be a KC onslaught and how to do that. KC’s players are all pretty expensive, so who do you leave out? What I decided to do is a star and scrubs using the Chief’s hottest receiver in the DK Caption spot.

Captain/MVP Picks
Juju Smith-Schuster, KC – WR
Juju has been the hottest receiver on the Chiefs roster, not counting Tight Ends. On Fanduel where you do not have a penalty for Captain, use Kelce or Mahomes. On DraftKings Juju offers a $5400 discount and he has 25+ DK points and a TD in each of his last 2 games.
FLEX Picks
Patrick Mahomes, KC – QB
The Chief’s offense runs through Mahomes, so he is a must-play especially in Primetime (3-0 this season). Part of my strategy is to use Mahomes in the Flex instead of paying up at Captain on DK. I expect him and Kelce to be the most own in the Captain slot, so I am pivoting to make a higher octane roster.
Travis Kelce, KC – TE
Kelce is by far Mahomes’ favorite target. Tennessee has a good pass rush so expect a lot of blitz dumps to Kelce. He aslo leads the league in redzone targets and touchdowns.
Derrick Henry, TEN – RB
As usual, Henry is coming on stronger and stronger as the season stretches into Week 9. KC is a the bottom of the league in rushing defense and Henry is the offense for the Titans. You will have to scrape the bottom of the barrel to roster him, but it’s well worth it.
Value Pick
Isiah Pacheco, KC – RB
The rookie has impressed Andy Reid and he is getting carries in the game. In fact last week he technically was the starting running back. He is first cheap on both sites and could easily steal a TD or break one when it is not expected.
