The Chiefs’ offense is efficient. They do what it takes to win games. The times when Kansas City would win shootouts are long gone. They are doing what a lot of great dynasties have done. Even Tom Brady wasn’t the best fantasy quarterback for long stretches when the Patriots played a ball-control offense and leaned on their defense. We’re seeing that right now with Patrick Mahomes as he comes off another disappointing game from a fantasy perspective (13.44 points; QB18 in Week 5). I know you didn’t come here for quarterback talk, but it’s impacting a lot of the receivers and ball-carriers for the Chiefs. But Xavier Worthy should probably be started in leagues as a low-end WR2 or high-end WR3, at worst, when the team returns in Week 7 after a bye this week. I’ll take the risk, knowing that we’re getting a home run hitter who is just as likely to have 25 points as he is six. And hey, I lost a game by .10 points this week because I started Chris Olave, who scored three points. There are no guarantees in anything.
On to the rest of the notes …
