The AFC West is wide open, adding importance to this division battle between the Chiefs and Raiders. It is projected to be a shootout, and I’m inclined to agree with the expectation established by the betting lines. Both offenses are top-heavy. So, there’s added importance to locating ancillary bargain options that can accommodate using the top dogs. Below, I dive into playing time and usage for both squads.

Chiefs Analysis: Patrick Mahomes is playing himself out of must-use status, even in single-game contests like this one. He has eclipsed 300 passing yards only one time in the last seven games. However, I expect him to eventually turn things around. It's possible tonight will be the night, as the Raiders are only a mid-pack pass defense. According to Football Outsiders, they are 17th in pass defense Defense-adjusted Value Over Average (DVOA). Mahomes has traditionally hung fantasy points in bunches against the Raiders. Thus, I won't fault gamers for using him on this slate. However, I'm more open than ever to fading him.
