Kansas City @ Las Vegas
Team Totals: Chiefs 25.5, Raiders 16
Box-score expectations should remain limited for Patrick Mahomes versus a serviceable Raiders pass defense with K.C. missing JuJu Smith-Schuster (hamstring). Mahomes ranks 22nd among quarterbacks in fantasy scoring. I do expect his trajectory to rise as trade acquisition DeAndre Hopkins finds his footing in the offense. … This is a green-light spot for Kareem Hunt at Vegas, whose defense is surrendering 4.95 yards per carry and 137.9 total yards per game to enemy running backs. Over Kansas City’s last three contests, Hunt has averaged 22.7 touches for 95 yards and 1.0 touchdowns. Hunt has earned every-week RB2 valuation with RB1 upside driven by close-in scoring potential. Hunt has dominated red-zone touches over Samaje Perine and Carson Steele since signing with Kansas City.
