Kansas City @ Denver
Team Totals: Chiefs 28.75, Broncos 19.25
A top-10 fantasy QB1 in four of his last five starts with two top-five results mixed in, Patrick Mahomes has played quality football through the season’s first month and a half yet failed to fully meet box-score expectations. He’ll take another swing against Vic Fangio’s Broncos, who’ve supported top-15 fantasy finishes for each of their first five quarterbacks faced while surrendering the NFL’s third-most QB rushing yards per game (34.4), especially noteworthy since Mahomes has been an aggressive scrambler this year on pace (440 yards) to shatter his previous career high for rushing (272). In a game I like to fly over its 46-point total, Mahomes sets up as a high-floor, high-ceiling start as usual. … On Wednesday, coach Andy Reid wouldn’t commit to Le’Veon Bell being active at Denver, while Clyde Edwards-Helaire very conceivably earned longer rope in Week 6’s thrashing of Buffalo on season highs in carries (26), touches (30), rushing yards (161), and yards per carry (6.19).
