- How you love that? Now, let's dig into the Sunday night matchup between the Chiefs and the Raiders. The Chiefs are coming in with an ugly win against the Packers. And the Raiders are coming in with an ugly loss against the Giants. So let's see if these two teams can bump uglies and create something beautiful on Sunday night.
And that's why I'm going with Darrel Williams because the only way that KC offense is going to look good is that they establish the runs. So many times we've seen Patrick Mahomes pass up on the run game, check to a deep pass, or pass up on the open wide receiver in the middle of the field to go deep. Run the ball effectively, take what's over the middle, and that'll get your offense clicking. So I think they do that this week versus the Raiders. That's why I like Darrel Williams right here at $17.
Moving over to the Raiders, Derek Carr. If you look at him-- I mean, the Las Vegas Raiders, they throw the ball for the second most yards in the league right now. Derek Carr in the two previous games that they played against Kansas City last year had three tubs in each of those. I think he replicates that this week. I think the Raiders offense continues to push the ball downfield with DeSean Jackson as that deep threat to try to open things up underneath. So I really like him in this spot going up against a Kansas City team that's still trying to get their offense together.
And that-- my superstar-- you may think it's going to be Patrick Mahomes, but, nah, I'm going with Travis Kelce. Like, he balled out in both outings against the Raiders last year. He had a touchdown last week, so they're starting to get him more involved in the game. And it's, kind of, alluding to what I was talking about with Darrel Williams. Like, Travis Kelce was open so many times in the middle of the field and Patrick Mahomes passed up on those options. I think he takes advantage in this game and sends Kelce over as a superstar this--
