- Our trusted projections expect Travis Kelce to accrue 8.5 targets in this game, on balance, putting him in the 97th percentile among tight ends.
- The Kansas City Chiefs offensive line ranks as the 10th-best in football this year in protecting the QB, which has a positive influence on all passing offense statistics across the board.
Cons
- The Chiefs are a 4.5-point favorite in this week’s contest, likely leading to a rushing game script.
