Denver Broncos DFS Spin
Broncos interim head coach Jerry Rosburg said Jerry Jeudy (ankle) is expected to play in Week 17 against the Chiefs. Jeudy’s ankle issue appeared to flair up in Week 16. He got tangled up on the first play of the game but returned a few snaps later. His reps were limited in practice, but that appears to be a precautionary measure. He will rank as a low-end WR2 in a high-scoring affair with the Chiefs.
Kansas City Chiefs DFS Spin
Isiah Pacheco rushed 14 times for 58 yards in the Chiefs’ Week 16 win over the Seahawks, adding a 32-yard reception. 90 yards from scrimmage is hardly catastrophic for fantasy managers, though they would have liked that production a whole lot more were it accompanied by a touchdown. Pacheco got stopped on back-to-back goal-line carries in the fourth quarter, causing Patrick Mahomes to take matters into his own hands and run it in on 3rd-and-goal. That hurts, though Pacheco out-touched Jerick McKinnon 15-8 after the Chiefs’ satellite back was the subject of nonstop Week 16 steam. Pacheco remains the clear-cut touch leader in this backfield even if McKinnon is the primary third-down back. Pacheco will find himself in the RB2 mix for Week 17 against the Broncos.
