"Can the Bills' defense push the Chiefs out of their comfort zone? No team likes to pass more than the Chiefs, and almost no team likes to pass in the middle of the field more than them. Fifty-six percent of their targets land between the numbers, second highest in the league. But that could be an issue against Buffalo's defense, which allows the third-lowest target rate to the middle of the field (43%)."
"In addition to that, the Bills are a run-inducing defense. The pass rate over expectation against them this season is a league-low minus-10%. (Buffalo having the fourth-worst run defense in terms of EPA per play surely has something to do with that number.) So what does that mean for Kansas City's offense? Instead of relying on Travis Kelce and Rashee Rice's"
Thirteen games remain in Week 9 after the Ravens beat the Dolphins. Coverage includes last-minute prep: statistical trends, low-rostered fantasy options, upset predictions, a key matchup to watch, and a favorite bet. Buffalo's defense limits middle-of-field targets (43% allowed) and induces run-heavy play, producing a -10% pass rate over expectation, which could challenge Kansas City's heavy middle-field passing (56% of targets between the numbers). Questions include Christian McCaffrey's efficiency, Broncos-Texans strength matchup, Sam Darnold and Colston Loveland fantasy upside, and a potential Steelers upset over the Colts.
