Fantasy Friday: Week 14 Team Scouting Reports From SB Nation

The Chiefs won’t be going to the real playoffs, but can they help in the fantasy playoffs? We turn to Arrowhead Pride for answers.

QB Matt Cassel - The Buffalo Bills have one of the better pass defenses in the NFL so don’t expect big numbers from Cassel this week. It appears Bills CB Terrence McGee is getting healthy which will only hurt Cassel’s cause. He’s coming off two miserable games so I fully expect the Chiefs to commit to the run and use this game as a confidence booster for him, if that’s possible. Short, high percentage passes is what I expect from him this week. He has 10 TDs and 0 INTs in the red zone this season so if the Chiefs get down there, he’s pretty efficient at getting it in the end zone.

RB Jamaal Charles - Start him no doubt about it. The Bills are the worst rush defense in the NFL and the Chiefs QB is struggling which is a perfect recipe for a big day from Charles. Not only do I expect him to get plenty of carries and push 100 yards on the ground, he’ll be a target of Cassel early on as they get his confidence back. The numbers say this should be a career game for Charles.

WR Chris Chambers - Like I said, I don’t expect the Chiefs to throw the ball much on Sunday but when they do Chambers will be a favorite target. He had a down game last week, as did all the Chiefs receivers. Look for Chambers to be targeted but I wouldn’t expect a huge day out of him.

Chiefs Defense - This is probably a pretty good start, if you have to. Statistically the Chiefs rank very low on defense but they create turnovers and should be able to get to the quarterback with the Bills porous offensive line. OLB Tamba Hali is coming off the best game of his career and I expect that to continue with a sack (if not more) and lots of hurries. This should be a relatively good game for the Chiefs defense.
