These contests are intended to be fun as you’re watching the game. It’s incredibly difficult to get a real edge as there are so few options, and in MME contests, there are often many duplicate lineups. One play or one penalty can change the entire outcome of the game.

Game Strategy

• Saints Implied Team Total: 18.5

Despite the absences of stars Rashee Rice and Isiah Pacheco, the Chiefs are still the clear favorites in this one at home. Lineups should lean Chiefs heavy.

Quarterback

Patrick Mahomes II - Captain/Flex

Patrick Mahomes II isn't the most exciting fantasy quarterback at the moment but this is a one-game slate. He's the home quarterback and ranks seventh in pass touchdowns per game (1.5). The Chiefs are five-point favorites.
