Kansas City Chiefs DVOA, Stats, & NFL Rankings

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy will face the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 14. The rookie has been a consistent factor in the Kansas City offense lately, catching at least four passes and totaling more than 45 yards in the last three games. The Chiefs also like to get Worthy involved in the run game, giving him at least one carry in eight games this season. Worthy will look to be productive this week against the Chargers, who rank 14th in fantasy points allowed to opposing wide receivers this season. Worthy and Patrick Mahomes have had difficulty connecting on deep passes this season, but it could be a matter of time until they do. Worthy is ranked WR41 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings, making him a deeper flex option this week. Fantasy managers can do better than Worthy this week, especially since he hasn't displayed a ceiling-type game since Week 1.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins will face the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday night in Week 14. The veteran receiver had four catches for 90 yards in last week's win over the Las Vegas Raiders. Hopkins and Patrick Mahomes connected for multiple chunk plays in Week 13 and will attempt to build on that chemistry this week against the Chargers. The Chargers rank 14th in fantasy points allowed to opposing wide receivers this season, making them a relatively neutral matchup. The 32-year-old has displayed reliability as a pass catcher in this Kansas City offense and should continue to be heavily involved. That said, Travis Kelce is the player most likely to be fed targets in the passing attack, meaning Hopkins must be efficient with his opportunities to be fantasy-relevant. Hopkins is ranked WR30 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings this week, making him a WR3/flex option. Fantasy managers can start Hopkins in this matchup, but be aware that he has a low floor.

Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt will face the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday night in Week 14. Hunt handled seven carries for 15 yards and two catches for four yards in last week's win over the Las Vegas Raiders. The 29-year-old evenly split the backfield carries with Isiah Pacheco, but the latter was the more explosive option. With another week to get back to game speed, it stands to reason that Pacheco will shift the backfield share more in his direction. Even if the split remains relatively even this week, Hunt will have his work cut out for him against the Chargers. The Chargers rank sixth in fantasy points allowed to opposing running backs this season, making them one of the most challenging matchups. Hunt is ranked RB30 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings this week, putting him on the flex radar in a week with six teams on bye. Fantasy managers should try their best not to start Hunt this week.

Kansas City Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco will face the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday night in Week 14. Pacheco returned from injured reserve last week and handled seven carries for 44 yards and one catch for five yards in their close victory over the Las Vegas Raiders. Pacheco and Kareem Hunt split the carries evenly, but Pacheco showed that he was still the more explosive back of the duo. Another week removed from injured reserve, the 25-year-old should handle a larger share of the backfield opportunities. That said, it will not be a cakewalk matchup for Pacheco against the Chargers. The Chargers rank sixth in fantasy points allowed to opposing running backs this season, making them one of the more difficult matchups for the position. Pacheco is ranked RB21 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings this week, making him a low-end RB2 option. Fantasy managers should excited to start Pacheco, despite the poor matchup, due to his ability to create big plays and the fact that there are six teams on bye this week.

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce will take on the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday night in Week 14. The veteran tight end had seven catches for 68 yards in last week's close victory over the Las Vegas Raiders. Kelce put forth a serviceable performance against the Raiders but will have a more challenging time this week against the Chargers, who rank eighth in fantasy points allowed to opposing tight ends this season. Kelce's upside has been capped with other Chiefs pass catchers getting more involved, specifically backup tight end Noah Gray. Gray has at least four catches in the last three games and scored four times in that span. That said, Kelce is seeing almost unmatched volume at the tight end position, with double-digit targets in five games this year. Kelce is ranked TE3 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings this week, making him a high-end TE1. Fantasy managers should feel confident starting him despite the difficult matchup.
