Wednesday Christmas Day Doubleheader
1:00 PM ET Game
Kansas City @ Pittsburgh
Team Totals: Chiefs 23, Steelers 20
On their third game in 11 days, the Chiefs visit Pittsburgh with Patrick Mahomes having netted fantasy’s QB8 score over his last five starts while getting back field-stretching WR Marquise Brown (shoulder) against a Steelers defense likely missing top CB Joey Porter Jr. (calf/knee). Mahomes’ protection remains a big concern; Kansas City has yielded the NFL’s eighth-highest pressure rate (23%), while Pittsburgh has generated the NFL’s second-most QB knockdowns (60). I’m valuing Mahomes in low-end QB1 territory. … Kareem Hunt has stayed (slightly) ahead of Isiah Pacheco in Kansas City’s backfield order by churning out consistent gains; over the past two weeks, Hunt has parlayed 27 touches into 128 yards and a touchdown versus Pacheco’s 24/36/0 result. The Steelers present a below-average fantasy running back matchup, rendering both Hunt and Pacheco TD-dependent flex options.
