Start ’em

At this point in the season you should be auto starting players like Emmanuel Sanders, Patrick Mahomes, Kareem Hunt, Tyreke Hill, and Travis Kelce. Put them in your line ups.

Phillip Lindsay

With Royce Freeman likely out or limited, expect Lindsay to get a good majority of the snaps. The undrafted rookie has been dynamic week in and week out and against a still shaky Kansas City defense expect more of the same. Projections: 80 yards, two touchdowns.

Demaryius Thomas

The Kansas City secondary has holes on the outside, Steven Nelson and Orlando Scandrick have been sub-par all season. While they limited the Cincinnati Bengals to only ten points, AJ Green still had over 100 yards receiving. Thomas should be able to take advantage of a match-up like this. Projections: 70 yards, one touchdown.
