Emmanuel Sanders has a day against the Chiefs

Emmanuel Sanders has found the spark to his fire again with Keenum. He has been consistently catching the ball for an average of 89.7 yards per game this season. For the Monday night tilt against the Kansas City Chiefs, he will hit over that 100-yards for the second time in four games. He will also find the end zone twice in this game. That would be quite the prediction since Sanders only found the end zone twice all last season in what was a rough year.

Last season Sanders didn’t get to play against the Chiefs as he was hurt for the first contest and sat for the season finale, so this only helps the spark Sanders has found, turn into a full-fledged blaze! On top of that the Chiefs are ranked 26th against WRs.

To make matters worse for Kansas City, the Chiefs rank dead last in passing yards. Their secondary has been very bad in the first three games. Case Keenum should have a field day against them, which is good news for Emmanuel Sanders. If Keenum stays on point, and with his speed and ability to separate himself from the defender, Sanders will be Keenum’s go-to against the Chiefs.
