Kansas City Chiefs

Kansas City Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco (toe) will not practice on Wednesday due to a toe injury, according to head coach Andy Reid, who said it's "getting better." It's something to watch with the Chiefs' primary back, but it doesn't sound like anything that is going to keep the second-year running back from playing in the AFC Championship this Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens. As long as Pacheco returns to practice on Thursday or Friday, he'll be one of the more popular DFS plays this weekend because of the volume he receives in KC's backfield. In the Chiefs' two playoff games this year, the 24-year-old has handled 39 carries for 186 yards (4.8 yards per carry) and two rushing touchdowns. Baltimore's defense is strong everywhere, but Pacheco has a high fantasy floor because of the volume he receives on a weekly basis.

Kansas City Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco topped 100 scrimmage yards for the fourth time this year in Sunday's narrow 27-24 road win over the Buffalo Bills, handling 15 carries for 97 yards plus a touchdown and adding a 14-yard reception. Pacheco crossed the end zone on a well-designed play to answer a Buffalo score with yet another lead change in this back-and-forth thriller early in the fourth quarter. Perhaps catching the defense off guard after the Bills failed to execute a fake punt, the hard-running 24-year-old rumbled down the left sideline for 29 yards and came up just three yards shy of another TD. After Tyler Bass missed a late game-tying field goal, Pacheco iced the game and got the Chiefs into victory formation with a first-down run. Continuing to dominate RB opportunities after taking 16 of 19 on Sunday, Pacheco is K.C.'s unquestioned workhorse heading into next Sunday's AFC title clash with the Baltimore Ravens.

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.
