L.A. Chargers @ Kansas City
Team Totals: Chargers 23.75, Chiefs 20.25
Newly pro football’s record holder for rookie-season touchdown passes (28), Justin Herbert can pad his stats against a Chiefs team that has clinched the AFC’s No. 1 seed and is resting starters. Even without Keenan Allen (hamstring/Covid) and Hunter Henry (Covid), Herbert looks set for an exciting season finale versus Kansas City’s backups. In Mike Williams, Tyron Johnson, Jalen Guyton, Donald Parham, Stephen Anderson, and Austin Ekeler, the Chargers have enough pass-catcher depth to cover for Allen and Henry’s absences against an unmotivated opponent. … No team has allowed more receiving yards to running backs than the Chiefs (776), positioning receiving-oriented Ekeler for a possible eruption. Ekeler’s Week 16 playing-time clip (65%) was his highest since Week 12, while No. 2 back Kalen Ballage’s snaps (28%) were his lowest since Week 2. Ekeler is a potentially difference-making RB1 starter here.
