With the NFL Divisional match-ups set for the weekend, here is the Kansas City Chiefs vs. Houston Texans DFS matchup. Today’s early game should be a showstopper for fantasy players today. The playoffs are heating up, and Saturday’s game could be good for fantasy players to win cash prizes. 

With the NFL playoffs heating up and the divisional rounds starting, it could be a strong fantasy weekend. After a bye week from the Wild Card games, Kansas City could help fantasy players win today’s round of DFS games. Fantasy players should also be wary of Houston and their hot and cold offense for Saturday afternoon’s game.

Chiefs vs. Texans DFS Start ‘Ems

Saturday afternoon’s Chiefs vs. Texans DFS game could be a strong tight end and running game to win for fantasy. Kansas City’s offense could do well in the run game with a solid run game. Kansas City’s offense could have a solid game with the run and receiving games today.  

Kareem Hunt (3,900-DraftKings/5,800-Fanduel)

Hunt is a player to start this Saturday afternoon’s DFS game. Hunt this season had 728 rushing yards and 7 touchdowns this season. With Pacheco recovering from his early season injury, Hunt has been a solid runner. The veteran running back could have a couple of touchdowns for fantasy players today in this divisional showdown against the Texans.

DeAndre Hopkins (4,700-DraftKings/5,800-Fanduel)

Another player who should be on your DFS radar is Hopkins for today’s divisional playoff game. Hopkins during this season had 610 yards and 5 touchdowns. This game could depend on the receivers with Mahomes. The veteran receiver could have a strong game in the short passing game and endzone for fantasy players. Fantasy DFS players should have Hopkins today.

Chiefs vs. Texans DFS DFS Sit ‘Ems

On the flip side, here are a few players we are sitting in during this Saturday afternoon’s Kansas City vs. Houston DFS.

John Metchie III (4,000-DraftKings/5,500-Fanduel)

Wide receiver John Metchie III is a player who should be on the fantasy bench for today’s DFS game. Metchie during the win against the Chargers had a fumble and 28 yards. The young Texans receiver has been struggling with fumbles this season, which could cost players money. Fantasy players should sit Metchie down for today due to the Chiefs’ solid defense.

Travis Kelce (5,000-DraftKings/6,500-Fanduel)

Travis Kelce is another player who could have a rough night for fantasy players and should be sitting in today’s DFS game. Kelce this season had a weak season with 823 yards and 3 touchdowns. While the veteran could be a threat today, he is also a non-factor for today’s fantasy. Kelce could be covered well with the Texans’ defense being hot during this playoff season.

Total Apex Lock of the Game

Xavier Worthy (5,200-DraftKings/6,400-Fanduel)

For the Total Apex lock of the game, Chiefs receiver Xavier Worthy should be your lock of the day. The rookie receiver this season had 638 receiving yards, and 9 touchdowns. He could have a strong game against the Texans’ secondary in Kansas City, potentially scoring with a rushing and receiving touchdown. 

Total Apex Fade of the Game

Hollywood Brown (5,700-DraftKings/6,000 Fanduel)

The Total Apex fade of the game will be Hollywood Brown of the Chiefs should be on the bench today. Brown this season despite injuries had 91 yards and no touchdowns. This season was a nightmare for him due to injuries and could have a weak game tonight. Houston could have coverages that could impact Brown heavily for their matchup today. With a hot Houston defense coming to Kansas, fantasy players should avoid Hollywood today.

Conclusion

The NFL playoffs are getting hot for the divisional rounds, and Saturday afternoon’s DFS game could help fantasy players win cash. Kansas City could have a strong game with fantasy players due to the weapons they have on offense, including their run game. Along with the Chiefs’ run game, the receiving core could do well with their veteran receivers today.

However, the Chiefs offensive stars could suffer for fantasy players. There is also the Texans offense struggling horribly which could cost fantasy players money. Houston’s offense has been putrid with their offensive line struggling even during the win against the Chargers. Fantasy players could win easy cash prizes in this Saturday afternoon game of football. The NFL divisional games could be easy money because of the intensity of the playoffs and pressure from both teams.
