Another team that's gonna kind of be facing some injuries that might play
00:06
into a different attack is going to be Kansas City Chiefs taking on the Atlanta
00:11
Falcons down in Atlanta. And with Pacheco being out of the mix, we've seen a lot
00:16
of weight shouldered on Xavier Worthy. We've seen him rise to the occasion. We
00:20
haven't seen as much out of Travis Kelsey. We talked about the fact that
00:23
that was because of how many weapons they had to get into the mix. But is this
00:27
finally the week that we see a big Travis Kelsey game because of some of
00:30
the guys that are gonna be out of the lineup? It might be. You know, everything
00:34
that I said about the Chiefs after that Thursday night opening game has gone
00:39
away where it didn't have to be a massive week from any one player. It can
00:44
be spread out. They have so many options. It's this, that, the other. Everyone can
00:48
be rolling on all cylinders. That's not the case anymore. What we saw from
00:52
Devonta Smith tonight against this Falcons defense is encouraging for
00:56
Rishi Rice, who should be having an expanded role on the offensive. They're
01:00
not gonna be running the ball as much. Shemaj P. Ryan should be the starting
01:05
running back now for the Chiefs. He's probably not gonna play a massive role
01:08
overall, but he does have some value coming out of the backfield with some
01:11
receptions. So it does turn into a Rice plus Kelsey game as maybe the main two
01:16
and then Xavier Worthy as that third option. So I'm hesitant to jump to
01:21
anything in total lines come out. This game line just came out 46 and a half in
01:25
minus four and a half for the Chiefs. But the player props are gonna be the
01:29
most interesting because, like you said, Travis Kelsey has done basically
01:32
nothing this season, but the books are still gonna put him up in the mid to
01:36
high fifties, sixties, probably just because they respect Mahomes and Kelsey
01:40
what they can do. So it is a big wait and see for the Chiefs player props
01:44
this week. But I'm gonna say Rice might end up being my favorite. Yeah, I have
01:48
to say that I'm right there with you when it comes down to Rice because he's
01:52
also really good at managing the ball. And when you have that connection with
01:56
a guy like Patrick Mahomes who can place the ball anywhere he wants to, as
01:59
long as the player can rise to the occasion, we're gonna see some big plays
02:02
out of that. I also don't want to jump ahead and say it's gonna be a big game
02:05
for Travis Kelsey, even though they've had a lot of weapons to distribute
02:08
amongst. I'm just still there's some reservation that I have in terms of
02:12
when his big game is going to come, and it's just it's not sitting on the
02:15
charts for me this week. I just think there's a couple of teams that are
02:18
gonna be able to kind of hyper focus on him, and they're gonna have to use
02:21
that to their advantage, them being the Chiefs.
