Kansas City Chiefs

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice played more of a supporting role as his team eked out a 27-24 victory over the Buffalo Bills, collecting all four of his targets for 47 yards in Sunday's Divisional Round. Outproduced yardage-wise by the much-maligned Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Rice let out a far cry from his 130-yard effort in last Saturday's wild-card win. Sitting down in the defense's soft spot, Rice provided a 26-yard catch-and-run on his longest play of the evening in the first quarter with quarterback Patrick Mahomes flushed out of the pocket. The rookie second-rounder then made a tough grab in traffic in the red zone during the second period, but it was an otherwise quiet showing out of the 23-year-old wideout. Rice may not have been the focal point that he was in his last time out, but he contributed to the Chiefs' balanced attack on Sunday. He'll aim for more production in next Sunday's AFC title battle with the Baltimore Ravens.

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce picked the right time for his first two-touchdown game of the year as his team escaped Sunday's Divisional Round with a 27-24 win over the Buffalo Bills, leading his team with 75 receiving yards on five catches (six targets). Kelce delivered two strong hookups with quarterback Patrick Mahomes in the first half, and the superstar signal-caller just missed him in the corner of the end zone in the second quarter. But Mahomes connected with him later in the period, finding Kelce wide open on busted coverage. Kelce later took a short screen pass near the goal line and found an opening in traffic for another score, with Sunday marking the 34-year-old All-Pro's first game with a TD since Week 10. In three career playoff outings against the Bills, Kelce now owns 26 catches for 289 yards and five TDs. He'll hope for a repeat performance when the Chiefs visit the Baltimore Ravens in next Sunday's AFC Championship meeting.

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes pushed all the right buttons as his team held on for a 27-24 road win over the Buffalo Bills, completing 17-of-23 passes for 215 yards and two touchdowns with 16 additional yards on six carries in Sunday's Divisional Round. The Chiefs ran just 47 plays to Buffalo's 78 and possessed the ball for less than 24 minutes, but that was all Mahomes needed for an efficient performance. The 28-year-old superstar missed Kelce in the back of the end zone early, but he made no mistake finding his tight end wide open in the second quarter. Mahomes dumped one off to Kelce again for his second score in the third period. In terms of passer rating (131.6), Sunday was Mahomes' best game of the year. Mahomes now hits the road for the second playoff game of his career away from home next Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens, and it will be the two-time MVP's sixth straight postseason competing for the AFC title.

Kansas City Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco carried the rock a career-high 24 times in last Saturday's wild-card rout of the Miami Dolphins, ending with 88 total yards and a whopping nine red-zone touches. With no sign of Jerick McKinnon (groin) and Clyde Edwards-Helaire not a legitimate threat to his role, Pacheco's bell-cow usage is likely here to stay for however long the Chiefs survive in the postseason. The Buffalo Bills have been vulnerable on the ground by tying for the third-most opponent yards per carry (4.6) in the regular season. Pacheco missed these two sides' Week 14 date following shoulder surgery, but it's worth mentioning that CEH was able to generate an efficient 5.2 yards per touch as the Chiefs' lead back. Checking in at $6,400 on DraftKings for the Divisional Round and scoring in five straight games, Pacheco is locked into both base-level and scoring-area work as an affordable three-down workhorse against an injury-ravaged defense.

Undeterred by the elements of the fourth-coldest game in NFL history, Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice(hamstring) tagged a beat-up Miami Dolphins defense for an 8/130/1 line on 12 targets in last Saturday's wild-card triumph. It was a special postseason debut for the rookie second-rounder, whose ability to rack up yards after the catch from the shorter areas of the field played well in the subzero temperatures. Rice has now passed or tied the scuffling Travis Kelce in targets in each of K.C.'s last seven games, perhaps starting to solidify himself as quarterback Patrick Mahomes' new favorite weapon after fully practicing and heading into Sunday without an injury designation against the Buffalo Bills. Matching up primarily with Rasul Douglas (knee) when these squads squared off in Week 14, Rice got the better of Buffalo's defense for a 7/72/1 output. Rice is the most expensive of K.C.'s skill positions while costing $6,800 on Sunday, but he's earned top-six WR1 treatment on the Divisional Round slate.
