Spencer Ware gets two touches against the Jaguars.

Ware carried one time for zero yards and added one reception for 13 yards in the Week 5 win. He’s a great veteran presence, but Ware is not a fantasy option at the moment.

Tyreek Hill totals 87 yards from scrimmage against the Jaguars.

Hill was matched up with cornerback Jalen Ramsey for most of the afternoon, and he certainly held his own by getting open on the All-Pro—including deep—after a week of some trash talk between the two, including a slight by Ramsey, who said Hill was an All-Pro returner but not a receiver. Hill caught four passes for 61 yards and added two carries for 26 yards in the Week 5 victory. It’ll be interesting to see how the Patriots defend Hill next Sunday night, but the Chiefs have so many weapons to be defended that it shouldn’t be a huge concern for his potential Week 6 output.

Kareem Hunt scores in Chiefs’ win.

Hunt grinded out yards against a tough Jaguars defense, carrying 22 times for 87 yards and a touchdown along with one reception for seven yards in the Week 5 win. Next week, Hunt faces the Patriots, the team he faced in his NFL debut and totaled nearly 250 yards with three touchdowns in the season opener last season. New England might attempt to make Hunt the guy they scheme to shut down in the game, but he’s still an RB1 option for Week 6.

Patrick Mahomes throws first two interceptions of the season against the Jaguars.

This probably was and will be Mahomes’ toughest matchup of the season, but he played well despite the two turnovers, helping move the Chiefs down the field in their Week 6 victory. Mahomes was 22/38 for 313 yards and two interceptions along with four carries for 13 yards and a touchdown. The first interception was an overthrow over the middle to Tyreek Hill, and it was the first interception of Mahomes’ career. This obviously slows Mahomes’ record touchdown pace to start the season, but there’s no reason to panic about him as a great QB1 in fantasy lineups. Look for him to get the ball in the end zone through the air at least once or twice when the Chiefs face the Patriots next Sunday night.

James O’Shaughnessy catches three passes against the Chiefs.

O’Shaughnessy gained 27 yards on his three grabs in the Week 5 loss. O’Shaughnessy is more of a real-life contributor than fantasy asset.

Austin Seferian-Jenkins doesn’t catch a pass in Week 5.

Meanwhile, Niles Paul and James O’Shaughnessy combined for ten receptions on 15 targets. Seferian-Jenkins is not a recommended fantasy option right now.

Dede Westbrook catches three passes in Week 5.

Westbrook gained 55 yards on his three receptions (five targets), including a long of 30 yards, against the Chiefs. The third-year receiver is still Jacksonville’s leading receiver, so he’ll look to get deep and have a bigger game next week when he plays in his home state against the Cowboys.
