Emmanuel Sanders contained in Week 4 loss.

Sanders caught five passes for 45 yards and rushed once for 18 yards in a 27-23 defeat. The veteran seemed frustrated due to the lack of success in the passing game against Kansas City, but he is still on pace for a 96/1,256/4 line at the quarter mark of the season. We’ll see if he can get loose against the Jets next week, but he’s better viewed as a FLEX than WR2 option.

Travis Kelce scores in Chiefs’ win.

The connection between Kelce and quarterback Patrick Mahomes started off slow against the Broncos, but they got things going in the second half and at the end of the game. Kelce caught a key fourth-quarter touchdown on a quick screen pass at the goal line, putting the Chiefs within one possession in the win. Overall, Kelce caught seven passes (on 12 targets) for 78 yards and a touchdown. He’s on pace for 92 receptions, 1,228 yards, and 12 touchdowns through four games this season.

Royce Freeman impresses in Monday Night Football debut.

Freeman rushed eight times for 67 yards and a score in a 27-23 loss to the Chiefs. The touchdown was a 14-yard run in the first half, but Freeman didn’t get close to enough work in a game that Denver was leading for the most part, including by double-digits in the fourth quarter. Still, the third-round pick showed great power and balance in Week 4, and at the quarter mark of the season, he is on pace for 876 rushing yards and 12 touchdowns. Consider Freeman a solid RB2/FLEX option in Week 5 against the Jets.

Tyreek Hill gets ten offensive touches against the Broncos.

Hill caught nine of a team-high 13 targets in the Monday night victory, ganging 54 yards while also added a two-yard carry. The Broncos did a relatively good job of limiting the dynamic third-year receiver, who has another tough matchup next week against the Jaguars. At the quarter-mark of the season, Hill is on a 92/1,456/12 pace.

Spencer Ware gets two touches against the Broncos.

Ware carried the ball twice, gaining six yards in the Week 4 win. Ware continues to mix in behind Kareem Hunt, but he’s not currently getting enough work to be a viable fantasy option.

Phillip Lindsay totals 79 yards and a touchdown in Week 4 loss.

Lindsay rushed 12 times for 69 yards, including a one-yard touchdown run in the second half. He also caught two passes for ten yards. The undrafted rookie is trusted by the coaching staff in all situations, and he looks to have every-week RB2/FLEX value in both standard and PPR leagues with 267 rushing yards and 5.9 yards per carry through four weeks. Lindsay will try to keep it going against the Jets in Week 5.

De’Anthony Thomas gets two offensive touches in Week 4.

Thomas had one carry for six yards and one reception for 15 yards against the Broncos. Thomas is yet another explosive weapon for the Chiefs, but he’s more of a real-life contributor than fantasy contributor.
