Team Totals: Chiefs 26.5, Panthers 15.5
This is a pull-up spot for the Chiefs facing one of the NFL’s worst teams after their 15-game win streak was snapped in Week 11’s loss at Buffalo. Patrick Mahomes should tee off on a Panthers defense giving up the league’s sixth-highest completion rate (68.7%), sixth-most yards per pass attempt (7.6), and third-highest QB rating (103.9) while ranking second to last in sacks (12). This figures to be one of the cleanest pockets Mahomes has experienced all year. … Out since Week 2, my guess is Isiah Pacheco (broken leg) will return on a limited basis here, initially operating as a change-of-pace complement to Kareem Hunt. No team has allowed more fantasy points to running backs than the Panthers. I’m backing Hunt as RB2 playable for one more game but clinging tightly to Pacheco as a stretch-run stash.
