Analysis: This feels like a get-right game for KC, or a ‘tune-up’ game as Warden Hazen from The Longest Yard would say. The Kansas City offense has not been it’s usually self as of late. This game against Washington, who’s defense doesn’t worry me at all, just feels like the game where they’re going to get back to their old ways. It seems like the perfect opportunity for Mahomes to bully a secondary around a little bit and get the Chiefs offensive swagger back.
The reason I prefer Tyreek in the stack instead of Travis Kelce, besides the much higher upside, is because we already have the perfect value bring back in TE Ricky Seals-Jones. It doesn’t matter if Logan Thomas is on IR, Washington still loves using their TE’s in the passing game. Ricky Seals-Jones had 8 targets in Week 5 as he started in place of Thomas. With Thomas still on IR, it feels like a great spot to target RSJ at min price vs the Chiefs weak pass defense.
