Who are the duds in the Denver Broncos matchup against Kansas City. See below.

Duds

Broncos Defense

The Chiefs are averaging 39.9 points per game. It has to slow down at some point but risking starting the Broncos defense on the last game of the week isn’t the smart play.

Sammy Watkins

Coach Andy Reid is starting to get Watkins involved in creative ways. After a slow week one Watkins has started to make plays in the pass and run game. However, I believe Tyreek Hill and Travis Kelce will be the ones receiving most of the targets.

Projections- Four catches, 40 yards.

Royce Freeman

This choice was very difficult for me, as it all comes down to how the flow of the game goes. If the Broncos get a lead they will try to control the clock and focus on carries for Freeman. However, if the Broncos trail, look for Phillip Lindsay and even Devontae Booker to take touches away from Freeman. I hope I’m wrong about this choice.

Projection- 10 carries, 40 yards.
