Top NFL DFS picks for Titans vs. Chiefs on SNF
One of Kaylor's favorite NFL DFS Showdown plays in the Chiefs vs.Titans Sunday Night Football matchup is Kansas City tight end Travis Kelce. With Tyreek Hill now catching passes from Tua Tagovailoa, Kelce is the unquestioned No. 1 target in Kansas City. The seven-time Pro Bowl selection leads the team in targets (60), receptions (47), receiving yards (553) and touchdown receptions (7). He is coming off a six-catch, 98-yard performance in Week 7, and Kaylor is expecting similar production on Sunday night.
"Andy Reid's success following bye weeks is well-documented, and one of the main benefactors during Reid's time in Kansas City has been Travis Kelce. In his last five games following a bye week, the six-time All-Pro has totaled 36 receptions for 521 yards and 3 touchdowns. Kelce enters this matchup tied for the league lead in touchdown receptions (7), and he ranks seventh in receptions (47) and 10th in receiving yards (553). I am expecting Kelce to see double-digit targets on Sunday night with a projected stat line of 7 receptions for 85 yards and a touchdown," Kaylor told SportsLine.
