If neither the Patriots or Steelers are available in your league, then the Kansas City Chiefs most likely are. Following their blowout against the Cincinnati Bengals, the Chiefs will host the division rival Denver Broncos in their second matchup of the season.

These teams first met in Denver in Week 4, and the Chiefs finished as the 11th-best fantasy defense that week. They sacked Case Keenum four times and had one interception in their 27-23 victory.

Overall, the Chiefs' defense has posted the eighth-most sacks (19) on the season, with multiple sacks in every game since Week 3. That doesn't bode well for Keenum, who has been sacked at least once in every game this season and has taken multiple sacks in every game since Week 3.

Keenum has also thrown at least one interception in every game. In total, he's thrown 9 picks, second-most among all quarterbacks, behind only Sam Darnold (10).

The Chiefs are 10.0-point home favorites in this matchup. While the Broncos were able to keep the Week 4 game close between these two teams, that was due, in part, to home-field advantage. In the rematch, the Chiefs D/ST is squarely on the streaming radar.
