NFL DFS Top Plays for Broncos vs. Chiefs Thursday Night Showdown

Captain/MVP/SuperStar Plays

Isiah Pacheco, RB ($14,100)

We kick off week 6 with an AFC West divisional battle between the Chiefs and the Broncos. No way to sugarcoat things, the Broncos’ defense is horrible. Playing Mahomes at CPT is going to be expensive, Kelce will be popular so let’s focus our attention on the position where the Broncos allow the most fantasy points per game to and running back with Isiah Pacheco.

Coming into this game the Broncos are allowing over 35 fantasy points per game to opposing backs and just continue to get torched by them week in and week out. I don’t see that changing tonight. The only thing that could limit Pacheco’s upside is potentially not getting the goalline carries.

Travis Kelce, TE ($16,500)

I did mention Kelce is going to be a chalky option at CPT but it is still hard to ignore his upside especially with Taylor going to be in the building (did you really think I would miss an opportunity to mention Taylor Swift?). Oh, and continuing on with the Broncos’ defense is bad, the Broncos have allowed the 29th most receiving yards to opposing tight ends. Prepare for

Flex Plays

Jerry Jeudy, WR ($9,000)

While the Broncos’ defense has been so bad that it has overshadowed that the Broncos’ offense is having a decent year. Now this may be because they are always playing from behind but Russell Wilson quietly has been having a solid year. Expecting more of the same for this game with the Broncos playing from behind, Jeudy and Sutton could be in line for big yardage games due to garbage time. Jeudy looks like he will be the lower owned of the two so I will have more exposure to him.
