The Chiefs recorded eight sacks and no takeaways during the 23-14 win over the Texans in the divisional round.

Analysis: This defense was excellent during the regular season, allowing 19.2 points per game (fourth). This is a well-rounded unit against both the run and pass. Still, there's significant shootout risk in the conference championship versus the Bills, who ranked second during the regular season with 30.8 points per game while giving up a league-low eight turnovers. The Chiefs allowed 30 points to the Bills earlier this season, making this unit a high-risk option this week.

The Chiefs allowed 19.2 points per game (fourth) and forced 20 turnovers (14th) through 17 regular-season games during 2024.

Analysis: The Chiefs have a high-end rushing defense while its pass defense holds its own. They're coming off a bye week to face the Texans in the divisional round. The two teams faced during the regular season with the Chiefs winning 27-19, a game where the Chiefs recorded two interceptions. Texans QB C.J. Stroud posed a 20:12 TD:INT ratio during the regular season, and his receiver room was torched by injuries, leaving questionable depth behind star WR Nico Collins. Thus, the Chiefs should be able to…read more

The Chiefs allowed the second fewest points per game (17.3) in 2023, while also ranking T-27 in takeaways (17) and No. 2 in sacks.

Analysis: The defending Super Bowl champs were carried through most of the regular season by one of the league's most surprising defenses. They will look to carry over that success, while also regressing to the mean in the turnover category when the season kicks off against Baltimore. With 12 of the 15 players who logged 400 defensive snaps in 2023 returning, Kansas City could seemingly replicate last year's success on paper. However, Week 1 will offer a tough test out the gate, as Baltimore ranked No. 4…read more

The Chiefs produced two sacks and one interception in the 26-7 win over the Dolphins on wild-card weekend.

Analysis: Kansas City was led by Nick Bolton's team-high 10 tackles (five solo). George Karlaftis added 1.5 sacks, while Chris Jones split one of those with him.

The Chiefs recorded two sacks and zero takeaways in the 20-14 loss to the Raiders in Week 16.

Analysis: The Raiders' offense gave up two defensive touchdowns in this one, so the score does not exactly tell the story of this game. Kansas City's defense held Aidan O'Connell to just 62 yards passing and nothing through the air after the first quarter. The problem was Las Vegas accumulated 157 yards on the ground and were essentially wearing down the clock. Nick Bolton tallied a team-high six tackles (five solo), while Chris Jones and Charles Omoenihu picked up one sack apiece. Through 15 weeks, the…read more

Through 12 games, the D/ST ranks T-23 in forced turnovers and No. 6 in sacks (39), while giving up the third fewest points per contest (17.3). They will look to get back on track in Week 14 when they welcome the Bills to Kansas City.

The Chiefs recorded one sack and zero takeaways in the 31-17 win over the Raiders in Week 12.

Analysis: It was a relatively quiet effort for Kansas City's defense. L'Jarius Sneed recorded a team-high nine tackles (seven solo), while Just Reid also tallied nine (five solo). The team's lone sack came via George Karlaftis when he tackled Aidan O'Connell behind the line of scrimmage. The D/ST is giving up the third fewest points per game this season (16.5), while also ranking T-20 in takeaways (14) and T-4 in sacks.

Most notably, they are tied with the 49ers with…read more

The Chiefs achieved six sacks and one fumble recovery in the 24-9 loss to the Broncos in Week 8.

Analysis: The D/ST did its best in Denver, but it did not get much contribution on the offensive side of the ball. They pressured Russell Wilson and to the tune of 10 QB hits and six sacks from George Karlafitis (2.5), Drue Tranquill (one), Leo Chenal (one), Mike Danna (one) and Charles Omenihu (0.5). The defense is now ranked T-2 in the sack department (28) through eight games, while also giving up the fifth fewest points (129). Things will get challenging in Week 9 when they face the Dolphins and the…read more

The Chiefs tallied five sacks and two interceptions in the 31-17 win over the Chargers in Week 7.

Analysis: Kansas City's defense shared the wealth in the sack department, as five different players took down Justin Herbert behind the line of scrimmage once. Herbert was also picked off by both Bryan Cook and L'Jarius Sneed in an all-around team effort for the D/ST. They are now No. 9 in takeaways and T-7 in sacks (22) through seven games, while giving up the fourth fewest points (105). They continue to outperform preseason expectations nearly halfway through the season. Week 8 brings an advantageous…read more

The Chiefs produced four sacks, two interceptions and one fumble recovery in the 19-8 win over the Broncos in Week 6.

Analysis: Kansas City applied pressure on Russell Wilson throughout the day with seven QB hits to go along with one sack from Chris Jones, Drue Tranquill and Justin Reid each, while George Karlaftis and Malik Herring split one. Reid and Nick Bolton also chipped in by picking Wilson off. The D/ST is now T-12 in sacks (17) and T-10 in takeaways through six games. More notably, they are No. 2 in points allowed per game (14.7), and will look to stay stingy in a tough Week 7 matchup with the Chargers.

The Chiefs recorded three sacks and a fumble recovery in the 27-20 victory over the Vikings in Week 5.

Analysis: Kansas City's three sacks were obtained via Mike Danna, Chris Jones and Leo Chenal, but it does not tell the full story of the pass rush. Jones and Trent McDuffie each recorded three QB hits, Danna had two, and four other Chiefs defenders tallied one to ultimately total 12. Thus, they managed to make contact with Kirk Cousins on roughly 25 percent of his pass attempts. Drue Tranquill recorded a team-high nine tackles (five solo), and Bryan Cook found a fumble for the D/ST's only takeaway.…read more

The Chiefs recorded two sacks and one fumble recovery in the 23-20 victory of the Jets in Week 4.

Analysis: Kansas City's D/ST struggled in an advantageous matchup in New York. Drue Tranquill tallied a team-high eight tackles (seven solo), while Mike Edwards and Chris Jones each recorded a sack apiece. Through four games, the defense is a lackluster T-12 in takeaways, T-19 in sacks and T-27 in points given up. Next up, a non-favorable Week 5 matchup in Minnesota.

The Chiefs logged three sacks, one interception and one fumble recovery in the 41-10 win over the Bears in Week 3.

Analysis: Drue Tranquill led the team with eight tackles (four solo) and 0.5 sacks, while Mike Danna and Chris Jones also added a quarterback takedown. Mike Edwards managed to pick off Justin Fields, and Willie Gay found the football for a fumble recovery. The interception was the D/ST's first of the year, leaving them at T-13 overall in the takeaways department (four). They find themselves with a promising Week 4 matchup against Zach Wilson and the Jets. New York's offense is last in both points and…read more

The Chiefs recorded four sacks and one fumble recovery in the 17-9 win over the Jaguars in Week 2.

Analysis: The big news for Kansas City was the debut of their defensive linchpin, Chris Jones, after settling a contract dispute. He made his presence felt in his debut by recording 1.5 sacks plus two other QB hits. Nick Bolton tallied a team-high eight tackles (five solo), while L'Jarius Sneed managed seven tackles (six solo), two passes deflected and a fumble recovery. The Chiefs' D/ST is T-3 in points given up through two games with 30. They will look to carry that momentum into Week 3 when they host…read more

The Chiefs recorded one fumble recovery and one sack in the 21-20 loss to the Lions in Week 1.

Analysis: The Chiefs D/ST has logged back-to-back seasons as the No. 8 fantasy scoring defense, but with their offensive struggles against Detroit, they did not see the typical offensive desperation that leads to sacks and turnovers. Trent McDuffie led the team with eight tackles (six solo), while Mike Danna provided the only sack. Defensive linchpin Chris Jones (contract dispute) will remain out when the Chiefs head to Jacksonville in Week 2. The Jaguars allowed two sacks, two turnovers and a touchdown…read more

The Chiefs finished top-10 in fantasy points the past two years largely through garnishing sacks and turnovers while opponents tried to keep up with their potent offense.

Analysis: Kansas City's D/ST is looking to carry the momentum of back-to-back seasons finishing eighth overall in fantasy scoring but will have a tough matchup in Week 1. Not only will they be playing a Lions squad that finished No. 5 in offensive scoring in 2022, but they are expected to be without their defensive linchpin, Chris Jones (contract dispute), to start the season. They added DE Felix Anudike, S Chamarri Conner and LB BJ Thompson in the draft, all of whom are expected to play depth roles at…read more

The Chiefs failed to reach a contract extension with DT Chris Jones before the end of the preseason.

Analysis: Jones has threatened to sit out until Week 8 of the regular season unless he receives a contract extension, and it appears he and the team did not come any closer heading into the regular season. The All-Pro's absence would severely impact the outlook for Chiefs D/ST, as this unit is largely built on garnering sacks and turnovers while opponents try to keep up with Kansas City's offense. Should Jones actually sit out while awaiting an extension, then young pass rushers George Karlaftis and…read more

DT Chris Jones did not report for the start of the Chiefs' training camp while awaiting a contract extension.

Analysis: Jones also skipped the team's mandatory minicamp in June, as he's seeking to put pressure on these apparently stagnant contract negotiations. DE Mike Danna is dealing with a calf injury to begin training camp and veteran DE Frank Clark was released by the Chiefs in March, likely leaving Jones to take on an even more significant pass-rushing burden in 2023. Therefore, it will certainly be worth keeping tabs on this contract situation as the preseason progresses. Meanwhile, DT Tershawn Wharton…read more

Kansas City D/ST allowed the 11th fewest yards per game (328.2) and ranked 16th in opponent points per game (21.7) during the 2022 campaign.

Analysis: The Chiefs defense did a good job complementing their high-powered offense last season, limiting opponents to the seventh lowest yards per pass attempt (6.7) while tallying the NFL's second-most sacks (55). 2022 Draft picks George Karlaftis, Trent McDuffie and Bryan Cook all also made an immediate as rookies, and they figure to benefit from another offseason of development. As a result, defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo's aggressive unit should be primed to continue hunting for sacks and…read more

The Chiefs recorded five sacks and two interceptions during Sunday's win over Cincinnati in the AFC Championship Game.

Analysis: Kansas City immediately took control of the line of scrimmage with four sacks in the first 18 minutes against the Bengals' short-handed offensive line. The Chiefs' defense has now accumulated 62 sacks between the regular season and playoffs. This ranks only behind the Eagles (78), who will represent the NFC in the Super Bowl. Philadelphia has been equally dominant on offense, finishing the regular season ranked third in both points (28.1) and total yards (389.1) per game. The Eagles were also…read more

The Chiefs posted one interception, a fumble recovery and two sacks during Saturday's 27-20 victory against the Jaguars in the divisional round.

Analysis: Kansas City logged at least two takeaways and two sacks for the sixth time in the last nine games. However, this defense did allow 7.6 yards per carry to Jacksonville's offense. This could be an issue in the AFC Championship Game, which will be a rematch versus Cincinnati. Kansas City's defense had its worst performance of the season during these teams' Week 13 matchup, as the Bengals racked up 172 rushing yards and quarterback Joe Burrow completed 80.6 percent of his passes for 286 yards to go…read more

The Chiefs recorded one interception, a fumble recovery and six sacks during the 31-13 win over Las Vegas in Week 18.

Analysis: Kansas City matched its season for sacks against Raiders No. 2 quarterback Jarrett Stidham. This brought Kansas City's season sack total to 55, marking the second-most behind only Philadelphia's 70 during this regular season. The Chiefs' first playoff game will come against the Jaguars during the divisional round on Saturday. Kansas previously notched five sacks during the 27-17 win over Jacksonville in Week 10. Since then, Jacksonville's offense has allowed 13 sacks while averaging 25.1 points…read more

Kansas City logged one interception, a fumble recovery and four sacks in Sunday's 27-24 win versus Denver.

Analysis: The Chiefs have now posted four takeaways and 10 sacks across two games versus the Broncos this season. Kansas City D/ST ranks fourth in sacks (49), 23rd in takeaways (18) and 20th in points per game allowed (22.3) this season. The Chiefs will still be competing for the top seed in the AFC when they take on the Raiders in Week 18. Las Vegas unexpectedly scored 34 points against San Francisco's top-tier defense Week 17, and Raiders backup quarterback Jarrett Stidham also completed 23 of 34…read more

The Chiefs logged one interception and two sacks in Saturday's 24-10 win over the Seahawks.

Analysis: Kansas City D/ST held Seattle's stumbling offense to a season-low in points. The Chiefs will likely get the most-favorable matchup in the league Week 17 against Denver. The Broncos offense has been the league's worst unit in terms of points per game (15.5) and sacks allowed (57) this season. These woes have only gotten worse recently, as Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson just threw three picks against the Rams on Sunday. Kansas City's defense previously had its best outing of the year against…read more

The Chiefs posted one sack and a fumble recovery in Sunday's 30-24 overtime win against the Texans.

Analysis: Kansas City failed to take advantage of the Texans' bottom-ranked offense until overtime, forcing a fumble to set up the game-winning touchdown. Chiefs D/ST has had its best performances when the offense has blown out their opponents. There's a good chance both sides of the ball could bounce back at home Week 16 against a faltering Seattle squad. The Seahawks' defense ranks 29th in points per game allowed (25.4) to balance out its seventh-ranked scoring offense (25.4) this season. The offense…read more

The Chiefs accumulated six sacks and two interceptions, including a pick-six, in Sunday's 34-28 win over the Broncos.

Analysis: Kansas City went off after going up 13-0 in the second quarter, logging a season high in sacks and its second defensive touchdown of the season. Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson did come close to mounting a comeback before he was forced out with a concussion in the fourth quarter. The Chiefs still rank 23rd in takeaways (14) and 19th in points per game allowed (22.9). But, they now have the fourth-most sacks in the NFL with 42, as getting out to big leads on offense has allowed the pass rush…read more

The Chiefs compiled one sack and zero takeaways in Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Bengals.

Analysis: Kansas City could not slow down Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow, who went 25-for-31 passing for 286 yards and scored three total touchdowns. The Chiefs' defense has been middle of the road this season but has struggled against the league's better scoring offenses. However, this unit could have a chance to tee off against the Broncos' 32-ranked scoring offense (13.8). Denver has also given up the fourth-most sacks (38) in the NFL this season, while Kansas City's pass rush is tied for sixth with…read more

The Chiefs recorded three sacks and two interceptions in the 26-10 win over the Rams in Week 12.

Analysis: The Chiefs have been average, at best, this season with 21.9 points allowed per game (16th) and 12 takeaways (21st). When they're tested, they tend to fold, too, as they have given up at least 24 points in every game against the Chargers, Bills, Raiders and Buccaneers. The Bengals belong in that upper-echelon category with 25.9 points per game (fifth), and they should get WR Ja'Marr Chase (hip) back this week. There's upside because QB Joe Burrow has been sacked 33 times, but it's not worth the…read more

The Chiefs recorded five sacks and two takeaways in the 30-27 win over the Chargers in Week 11.

Analysis: The Chiefs have a dominant pass rush with 32 sacks (fourth), but they rank 22nd with 10 takeaways and 21st with 23.3 points allowed per game. They haven't been a dependable fantasy option every week. However, they draw an excellent matchup in Week 12 because the Rams will be without star WR Cooper Kupp (ankle) and possibly without QB Matthew Stafford (head). Regardless of who is under center, Rams quarterbacks have been sacked 35 times -- the third-most in the league -- and they rank 29th with…read more

The Chiefs recorded five sacks in the 27-17 win over the Jaguars in Week 10.

Analysis: The Chiefs now rank eighth in the league with 27 sacks, but they have produced just eight turnovers. Their fantasy value this week largely depends on WRs Keenan Allen (hamstring) and Mike Williams (ankle) are healthy for the Chargers. Chiefs D/ST will be a risky option regardless, as QB Justin Herbert can break any game open, and he has been sacked just 12 times -- the second-fewest in the league.

The Chiefs recorded three sacks in the 20-17 win over the Titans in Week 9.

Analysis: This was the first time that the Chiefs gave up fewer than 20 points in a game, as they rank 20th with 23.6 points allowed per game. They have carried limited upside all season, too, as they have averaged just one turnover this season, though their 22 sacks ranks 15th. Still, the Week 10 matchup against the Jaguars is intriguing because the Jags have given up 13 turnovers (21st) this season while averaging 22.1 points per game (18th).

The Chiefs recorded two takeaways and a sack in the 44-23 win over the 49ers in Week 8.

Analysis: The Chiefs have allowed at least 20 points in every game this season, and they have posted just eight turnovers through eight weeks. Nevertheless, the Chiefs have an intriguing opportunity against the Titans, as QB Ryan Tannehill (ankle) didn't practice Thursday and is trending in the wrong direction, meaning rookie QB Malik Willis could make a second straight start. Willis dropped back just 10 times in his debut, leading the Titans to 17 points against the Texans. His presence under center…read more

The Chiefs recorded a sack and a fumble recovery in the 24-20 loss to the Bills in Week 6.

Analysis: The Chiefs held their own against one of the league's best offenses. However, they haven't been very good overall this season, as they rank 25th with 24.8 points allowed per game and 26th with five takeaways. This defensive unit will have some upside against the 49ers, who have given up nine turnovers (22nd) this season while scoring just 20.3 points per game.

The Chiefs recorded two sacks and no takeaways in the 30-29 win over the Raiders in Week 5.

Analysis: The Chiefs' defense ranks eighth in the league with 13 sacks. However, it has allowed 25 points per game (23rd) while posting just four takeaways (26th). That leaves a low ceiling, and this unit can't be trusted against the Bills. After all, the Bills rank second in the league with 30.4 points per game. Chiefs D/ST should have some fantasy appeal again in Week 7 against the 49ers.

The Chiefs recorded two fumble recoveries and a sack in the 41-31 win over the Buccaneers in Week 4.

Analysis: The Chiefs' pass rush has been disruptive this year with 11 sacks, ranking sixth in the league. However, the team has forced just four turnovers (21st) and allowed 24 points per game (20th). Their matchup against the Raiders won't do them any favors, as they have scored 24 points per game (10th) while coughing up just five turnovers (fifth). The Chiefs' secondary probably can't handle the Raiders' offensive firepower, either, so there is shootout potential in this game, making Chiefs D/ST a…read more

The Chiefs recorded five sacks and a fumble recovery in the 20-17 loss to the Colts in Week 3.

Analysis: The Chiefs rank fifth in the league with 10 sacks and have added two turnovers, but they rank 17th with 21.7 points allowed per contest. Now, they'll face the Buccaneers, who will have WR Mike Evans and potentially WR Chris Godwin (hamstring) back. The Chiefs should be able to get past the Buccaneers' weak offensive line, but we can't feel confident with this defense for fantasy purposes while QB Tom Brady is under center.

The Chiefs allowed 282 total yards and didn't force a turnover in the 44-21 win over the Cardinals in Week 1.

Analysis: The Chiefs allowed two touchdowns during garbage time in the fourth quarter. They only managed to sack QB Kyler Murray twice, so their fantasy output with subpar overall. This pass rush could be a force as the season progresses and rookie DE George Karlaftis settles in, but in Week 2 against QB Justin Herbert and the Chargers, fantasy managers should leave Chiefs D/ST on waivers.

The Chiefs ranked eighth in the league last season with 21.4 points allowed per game.

Analysis: The Chiefs' defense had an outstanding floor in 2022, which is even more impressive when considering they ranked fourth in the league with 28.2 points scored per game. They let S Tyrann Mathieu walk in free agency and replaced him with S Justin Reid, but their secondary should still remain constant with the addition of first-round CB Trent McDuffie. The big question is the pass rush because the Chiefs ranked 29th last year with just 31 sacks. Rookie DE George Karlaftis and veteran DE Carlos…read more

The Chiefs finished fifth last season with 29 takeaways.

Analysis: Opponents made a lot of mistakes trying to keep up with QB Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs even though the Chiefs couldn't get to the quarterback, as they ranked 29th in the league with 31 sacks. The pass rush should rebound after the Chiefs selected DE George Karlaftis in the first round and added DE Carlos Dunlap -- who piled up 8.5 sacks in 2021 -- in free agency. With the addition of first-round CB Trent McDuffie, the Chiefs are set up well to provide fantasy utility again in 2022.

The Chiefs drafted CB Trent McDuffie in the first round of the 2022 NFL Draft.

Analysis: After finishing 27th in the league with 251.4 passing yards allowed per game, the Chiefs responded by drafting McDuffie and signing S Justin Reid, although they opted to not re-sign S Tyrann Mathieu. They also selected DE George Karlaftis in the first round to boost a pass rush that posted just 31 sacks (29th) last year. The Chiefs will need a lot out of Karlaftis to make a meaningful leap as a pass-rushing unit. However, they managed to post 29 turnovers (fifth) last year, and they'll be a…read more

The Chiefs recorded four sacks in the 34-31 loss to the Bengals in Week 17.

Analysis: The Bengals' offense is outstanding, so this performance wasn't much of a surprise. The Chiefs' defense ranks fifth in the league with 28 takeaways, and it has allowed fewer than 18 points in six of the last eight tgames. The Week 18 matchup is certainly intriguing, too, as QB Drew Lock -- who has a career 6.7 YPA mark with a 25:20 TD:INT ratio -- under center for the Broncos. The Broncos rank 23rd in the league with 18.4 points per game, so the Chiefs D/ST should have a decent floor and an…read more

The Chiefs recorded three takeaways and two sacks in the 36-10 win over the Steelers in Week 16.

Analysis: For the seventh time in eight games, the Chiefs held their opponent to fewer than 18 points, and they've stacked up a whopping 18 takeaways in that stretch. Their Week 17 matchup against the Bengals is tricky, though. The Bengals always have shootout potential, but QB Joe Burrow can be a bit loose with the ball, as they've turned it over 21 times (18th). Burrow has also been sacked on a whopping 8.9 percent of his dropbacks (third-most in the league). If the Chiefs' offense gets rolling early,…read more

The Chiefs recorded an interception and a fumble recovery in the 31-28 win over the Chargers.

Analysis: This was a respectable effort against one of the league's best offenses, and it was the first time that the Chiefs gave up more than 17 points since Week 8. The Chiefs now rank fifth in the league with 25 takeaways, while their 24 sacks are 29th. Their Week 16 opponent -- the Steelers -- have struggled offensively this season (20.8 points per game), but they've been relatively safe with the football, coughing up 15 turnovers (sixth). The Chiefs should provide a solid floor by keeping the…read more

The Chiefs recorded five takeaways and four sacks in the 48-9 win over the Raiders in Week 14.

Analysis: The Chiefs have posted a turnover in eight straight games, and now they rank sixth in the league with 23 takeaways through 13 games. However, they're probably going to be shorthanded Thursday against the Chargers, as DE Chris Jones and LB Willie Gay are in COVID-19 protocol while and CB L'Jarius Sneed (personal) is away from the team. With the Chargers averaging 27 points per game (eighth) and coughing up just 15 turnovers, the upside is limited for Kansas City while taking on major shootout…read more

The Chiefs recorded two interceptions and a sack in the 22-9 win over the Broncos in Week 13.

Analysis: The Chiefs' defense has taken a positive step over the past seven games, allowing an average of 13.7 points per game while totaling 14 takeaways. The Raiders have been fairly safe with the football, turning it over just 12 times (fifth-fewest in the league), and the Chiefs' 20 sacks through 12 games don't exude much confidence that they can get to QB Derek Carr. Still, we should count on a solid floor here due to the Raiders' lack of offensive weapons. Since WR Henry Ruggs was released, they…read more

The Chiefs posted five sacks, two interceptions and a fumble recovery in the 19-9 win over the Cowboys in Week 11.

Analysis: Following an incredibly tough start to the season, the Chiefs' defense has seemingly turned things around lately, allowing no more than 17 points in four straight games while totaling eight takeaways and 11 sacks. Broncos QB Teddy Bridgewater has been sacked on 7.4 percent of his dropbacks this year (ninth-most in the league), and the Broncos rank 21st in the league with 20.8 points per game. Even though they're relatively safe with the football, the Chiefs D/ST should provide a safe fantasy…read more

The Chiefs posted two sacks and two takeaways in the 41-14 win over the Raiders.

Analysis: The Chiefs' defense has enjoyed a solid run, holding its last three opponents -- Giants, Packers (without Aaron Rodgers) and Raiders -- to fewer than 18 points while posting five takeaways. However, nothing has fundamentally changed over the past month that would make us think the Chiefs are actually a top-10 defense now, and their Week 11 matchup against the Cowboys is daunting. The Cowboys lead the league with 31.6 points per game while recording 12 giveaways through nine contests. This has…read more

The Chiefs recorded two takeaways and a sack in Sunday's 13-7 win over the Packers.

Analysis: This was a solid effort by the Chiefs against a rookie QB who was on the run all afternoon. Their matchup gets a bit tougher in Week 10 against the Raiders, who rank 16th in the league with 24.5 points per game while coughing up eight turnovers (seventh-fewest in the league). The Chiefs still can't get to the quarterback, either, recording 12 sacks (31st) so far. With QB Derek Carr in command under center for the Raiders, the Chiefs D/ST has a low ceiling.

The Chiefs recorded three sacks and an interception in the 20-17 win over the Giants.

Analysis: The Chiefs still rank 30th in the league with 11 sacks and 19th with eight takeaways. They've started to look better lately with DE Chris Jones getting healthier, and they'll have a strong chance to continue that success in Week 9 against the Packers. QB Jordan Love will make his first career start because QB Aaron Rodgers is on the COVID-19 list. Love last played in a real game in 2019 when he tossed 17 interceptions at Utah State, and he's likely still a raw player. The Chiefs still could…read more

The Chiefs recorded a turnover and a sack in the 27-3 loss to the Titans.

Analysis: The Chiefs' defense has been quite bad this year, giving up 29 points per game -- the sixth-most in the league -- while recording just seven takeaways and a league-low eight sacks. However, there's always high-upside against QB Daniel Jones, who has tossed four interceptions and fumbled five times this year. The upside alone makes the Chiefs D/ST a fantasy-viable play this week, and there's actually a decent floor considering the Giants have averaged less than 20 points per game and could be…read more

The Chiefs recorded two turnovers -- an interception and a fumble recovery -- in the 31-13 win over the Football Team in Week 6.

Analysis: The Chiefs allowed at least 29 points in each of the first five games. The Chiefs' run defense is atrocious, ranking 27th in the league with 133.2 rushing yards allowed per game, and now they'll face RB Derrick Henry on the road. Even with QB Ryan Tannehill accounting for a whopping 20 sacks so far, the Chiefs will struggle to take advantage of that flaw, as they rank last in the league with seven sacks. They could still be without DE Chris Jones, too. They're a high-risk option this week.

The Chiefs allowed 436 total yards in the 38-20 loss to the Bills in Week 5.

Analysis: The Chiefs' defense looked lost in Week 5, and not having DE Chris Jones (wrist) in the lineup was a significant factor. Jones brings a seismic pass rush to the table and is strong against the run, too. It's unclear if he'll be back this week. At press time Wednesday, he has yet to practice this week. Their Week 6 opponent, Washington, has been solid this season with at least 21 points in four straight games, but they have turned the ball over six times in that stretch. If Jones is back, chase…read more

The Chiefs allowed 461 total yards and didn't force a turnover in the 42-30 win over the Eagles in Week 4.

Analysis: The Chiefs have given up at least 29 points per game this season, ranking 31st in the league with an average of 31.3 points allowed per game. Furthermore, they've forced just four turnovers while posting five sacks (30th). There's no reason to think this is a viable fantasy unit until proven otherwise, especially against the Bills, who are tied with the Chiefs for second in the league with 34.6 points per game.

The Chiefs forced a turnover in their 41-21 loss to the Cowboys in Week 3.

Analysis: It's rare to see the Chiefs at the bottom of the AFC West, but they're in this position partly because their defense has given up 30.7 points per game. It has produced just four takeaways and four sacks in that span. They're looking for a bounce-back game in Week 4, as the Eagles have averaged 21.3 points. That provides a safe floor. However, despite QB Jalen Hurts' tough showing in Week 3 against the Cowboys, the Eagles have been fairly safe with the football. Still, if he's forced to throw,…read more

The Chiefs allowed 481 total yards and forced two turnovers in a 36-35 loss to the Ravens in Week 2.

Analysis: The Chiefs have faced tough competition through two weeks in the Browns and the Ravens, but they've still given up serious ground so far, allowing 938 total yards and 65 points. However, they've tacked on four turnovers and three sacks. The Chargers come to town having scored 20 or fewer points in each of their first two games, but they've also coughed up two turnovers in each matchup. The Chiefs D/ST has proven upside, and there's a decent floor considering the Chargers have struggled to score.

The Chiefs recorded two turnovers and two sacks in Week 1's 33-19 win over the Browns.

Analysis: The Browns came to play but the Chiefs had the last laugh. They're mostly at full health to start the year, but they'll draw a difficult matchup against Baltimore in Week 2 on Monday Night Football. QB Lamar Jackson was sacked three times in the opener, and the Ravens coughed up the ball twice. The Chiefs are athletic enough up front to take down Jackson and put together a solid fantasy outing. However, fantasy managers would be taking on risk matching up against a player like Jackson.

S Tyrann Mathieu (COVID-19 protocol) may miss the Week 1 matchup against the Chiefs.

Analysis: Mathieu -- who missed the entire week of practice -- recorded 10 interceptions over his last two seasons with the Chiefs, so this unit's ceiling will take a hit if he ends up sitting out. However, as long as Frank Clark (hamstring) is on the field along with Chris Jones, the Chiefs should present a sturdy pass rush, though QB Baker Mayfield was sacked just 26 times last year.

While DE Frank Clark won't be arraigned for felony gun charges until October, he has been dealing with a hamstring injury during camp.

Analysis: Clark -- who has posted 14 sacks through two seasons in Kansas City -- still has a few weeks to get healthy before the season opener. The Michigan product is a key part of the Chiefs' defensive line that also features DE Chris Jones and DT Jarran Reed. The pass rush is key with how many leads they'll be tasked with defending, but for the same reason, this unit will rely on turnovers and sacks for its fantasy value. S Tyrann Mathieu helps the cause, but it'll be tough to depend on Chiefs D/ST on…read more

DE Frank Clark will report to training camp despite facing two felony charges.

Analysis: Both charges are related to firearms violations, and it's unclear if he'll face discipline from the league. Clark has generated 14 sacks over two seasons with the Chiefs, and he has averaged nearly 50 snaps per game in that stretch. He's irreplaceable if he misses any time. Their interior line remains solid, but their pass defense is the biggest concern considering how many leads they'll need to protect. CBs L'Jarius Sneed and Charvarius Ward look ready for top jobs, and keeping S Tyrann…read more

The Chiefs finished 10th in 2020 with 22 turnovers.

Analysis:

The Chiefs gave up 367 total yards and forced a turnover in the 17-14 win over the Falcons in Week 16.

Analysis:

The Chiefs gave up 285 total yards and forced a turnover in the 32-29 win over the Saints in Week 15.

Analysis:

The Chiefs allowed 367 total yards and forced a turnover in the 33-27 win over the Dolphins in Week 14.

Analysis:

The Chiefs gave up 330 total yards and forced two turnovers in the 22-16 win over the Broncos in Week 13.

Analysis:

The Chiefs let up 417 total yards and forced two turnovers in the 27-24 win over the Buccaneers in Week 12.

Analysis:

The Chiefs allowed 364 total yards and forced a turnover in the 35-31 win over the Raiders in Week 11.

Analysis:

The Chiefs allowed 435 total yards and didn't force a turnover in the 33-31 win over the Panthers in Week 9.

Analysis:

The Chiefs allowed nine points and forced a turnover in the 35-9 win over the Jets in Week 8.

Analysis: The Chiefs' pass rush continues to be mediocre, as it has picked up just 17 sacks through eight games, but it got the job done against the Jets. The Chiefs kept them out of the end zone and produced a solid fantasy day. They get a favorable matchup Week 9 against the Panthers, who rank 25th with 22.4 points per game, but RB Christian McCaffrey (ankle) is expected to come back this week. That takes a chunk out of floor for Chiefs D/ST. There's still enough upside to justify starting the unit,…read more

The Chiefs allowed 411 total yards, forced four turnovers and scored twice in a 43-16 loss to the Broncos in Week 7.

Analysis: The Chiefs' defense dominated in snowy conditions, running back an interception and a kick return for touchdowns. They've now forced a turnover in every game this season, and they're averaging a respectable 2.3 sacks per game. Those numbers combined with a Week 8 matchup against the Jets are a match made in heaven. Jets QB Sam Darnold has been sacked on a league-high 10.1 percent of his dropbacks, and he has a 3:6 TD:INT ratio this year. The upside's through the roof, and Chiefs D/ST is the…read more

The Chiefs allowed 206 total yards and recorded an interception in a 26-17 win over the Bills.

Analysis: The Chiefs failed to record a sack against an elusive Josh Allen, but they've been solid in pressuring the quarterback otherwise this year, recording 13 sacks through the first five contests. Slippery conditions on Monday night worked to the Chiefs' advantage, and now they've posted a turnover in all six games this season. They get another prime matchup in Week 7 against the Broncos, who have turned the ball over 10 times over five games while scoring more than 21 points just once this year.…read more

The Chiefs allowed 490 total yards and forced a turnover in a 40-32 loss to the Raiders in Week 5.

Analysis: The Chiefs didn't let up more than 20 points in a game prior to facing the Raiders, but QB Derek Carr carved up the Chiefs for 347 yards and three touchdowns while getting sacked just once. The return of CB Bashaud Breeland helped, as he recorded the team's sixth interception of the season, but Carr consistently beat the Chiefs with the deep ball. A matchup against Josh Allen is concerning, as he's tossed 21 passes of 20 or more yards, and he has 8.4 yards per attempt and a 14:3 TD:INT ratio…read more

The Chiefs allowed 357 total yards and forced four turnovers in a 26-10 win over the Patriots in Week 4.

Analysis: The Chiefs drew a favorable matchup with QB Cam Newton (illness) sidelined and Brian Hoyer starting under center. They've been consistent nonetheless, recording a turnover in each game this season and totaling 12 sacks -- tied for fifth in the league. They've struggled against the run, ranking 28th, but that's partly attributed to facing running QBs like Deshaun Watson and Lamar Jackson. QB Derek Carr isn't a runner, but he's rarely sacked and hasn't thrown a pick yet. As a resulst, consider…read more

The Chiefs allowed 228 total yards and forced a turnover against the Ravens in Week 3's 34-20 win.

Analysis: The Chiefs have been quite consistent, letting up exactly 20 points and recording exactly one turnover in each game this year. They've also registered 10 sacks against elusive QBs, so they may be able to handle Patriots QB Cam Newton to some extent in Week 4. Newton has tossed an interception in two straight games and has thrown for more than 170 yards just once this year, so the Chiefs appear equipped to handle his resurgence. This game has shootout potential, though, so consider Chiefs D/ST a…read more

The Chiefs let up 479 total yards and forced a turnover in Week 2's 23-20 overtime win against the Chargers.

Analysis: Perhaps the Chiefs were caught off guard by rookie QB Justin Herbert starting under center, but they did struggle to slow down the Chargers' offense in the first half. They tightened things up after halftime and ended up sacking Herbert twice, too. Still, Week 3 against the Ravens is not a matchup you want to roll the dice with. The Ravens have scored 33 or more points in each of the first two games, and slowing down QB Lamar Jackson is no small task. Steer clear of Chiefs D/ST, and Week 4…read more

The Chiefs let up 360 total yards and forced one turnover in Week 1's 34-20 win over the Texans.

Analysis: The Chiefs allowed a first-quarter TD to the Texans, but they otherwise controlled the game. Their secondary is still vulnerable with QB Deshaun Waton throwing for 253 yards, but they'll get relief when they travel to face the Chargers, who will have Tyrod Taylor under center. Taylor completed just 53.3 percent of his passes for 208 yards and no TDs in Week 1. Although the Chargers have a strong set of pass-catchers, the Chiefs can exploit their offensive line and should notch some sacks.…read more

The Chiefs will face the Texans in the season opener on Thursday Night Football.

Analysis: Kansas City went under the radar defensively in 2019 due to the explosiveness of the offense, finishing seventh in scoring (19.3 PPG), 11th in sacks (45) and 10th in takeaways (23). The offseason departure of DeAndre Hopkins cannot be understated for Houston's offense, but QB Deshaun Watson still has a deep receiving corps with Will Fuller, Brandin Cooks, Randall Cobb and Kenny Stills. Meanwhile, the Chiefs had CB Kendall Fuller leave via free agency and CB Bashaud Breeland is out due to a…read more

The Chiefs ranked seventh in 2019 with 19.3 points allowed per game.

Analysis: The Chiefs' offense is the moneymaker, but their defense was instrumental to their Super Bowl season. They were superb for fantasy purposes, too, ranking 11th with 45 sacks and 10th with 23 turnovers. The team could have some growing pains in the secondary, however, after CB Kendall Fuller signed in Washington and CB Bashaud Breeland was handed a four-game suspension. How well 2019 sixth-round pick CB Rashad Fenton adjusts in his second season will have a big impact on how this unit holds up as…read more

The Chiefs allowed three points and 234 total yards in Week 16's win over the Bears.

Analysis: The Chiefs held a second straight opponent to just three points, and they've held five straight under 20. During their strong defensive stretch, they've forced nine turnovers and sacked the quarterback 14 times. Their defense is finding its mojo at the right time, and there's a high-ceiling matchup on the docket. The Chargers have produced four multi-turnover games over their last six outings, and they surpassed 20 points just twice in that stretch. Feel comfortable streaming Chiefs D/ST in…read more

The Chiefs allowed three points and 251 total yards in Week 15's win over the Broncos.

Analysis: The Chiefs have allowed a combined nine points to the Broncos over two games this year, notching two turnovers in the process. The Bears could provide a tougher test, but it depends which Mitchell Trubisky shows up. If it's the Trubisky who uses his feet to extend plays and gain first downs, the floor is definitely lower. But that's not the one we've seen lately, as Trubisky has surpassed 30 rushing yards just once after doing so six times last year. The Chiefs have been strong in coverage this…read more

The Chiefs allowed 16 points and 278 total yards in Week 14's win over the Broncos.

Analysis: The Chiefs' defense has taken a step forward over the last three weeks, holding the Chargers, Raiders and Patriots to 17 or fewer points and totaling eight turnovers, returning one for a score, and seven sacks during that stretch. They'll now face rookie QB Drew Lock who exploded for 309 yards, three touchdowns and a pick in Week 14 vs. the Texans. Whether that outing was a mirage remains to be seen, but the Chiefs look equipped by holding four of their last five opponents below 215 passing…read more

The Chiefs held the Raiders to nine points and 332 total yards in Week 13's win.

Analysis: They also force three turnovers and returned one for a touchdown, marking the sixth time in 12 games they've posted more than one turnover. The Patriots' offense isn't its normal threatening self, as Tom Brady has posted 6.2 yards per attempt and a 59.9-percent completion rate over the past seven games. Their run game, which has recorded just 3.5 YPC this season, can't pick up that slack. However, the Chiefs are a sieve to the run with 5.1 YPC allowed, ranking 30th in the league. The Chiefs…read more

The Chiefs allowed 17 points and 438 total yards in Week 11's win over the Chargers.

Analysis: The Chiefs lost the yardage battle by 138 yards, but their four forced turnover proved to be the difference-maker in the outing. This was their fifth multi-turnover game of the year, as they rank ninth with 16 total turnovers. The Raiders are coming off an embarrassing three-point offensive effort against the Jets, but they match up well against the Chiefs' defense, which has allowed 5.1 YPC (31st) this year. The Raiders continue to grind Josh Jacobs, who has been extremely productive with over…read more

The Chiefs allowed 35 points and 371 yards to the Titans in Week 10's loss.

Analysis: The Titans targeted the Chiefs' brutal run defense -- they've allowed the second-most YPG (141.1) -- in this game, and it paid off as RB Derrick Henry rumbled for 188 yards on 23 carries. The Chiefs have allowed a whopping 5.1 YPC this year, and the Chargers are capable of exploiting this issue after accruing 305 rushing yards over the last two outings. If Philip Rivers' inaccuracy from Week 10 carries over into this contest, the Chiefs could hit a home run into fantasy viability. The odds…read more
