NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) – Sunday’s clash between the Saints and the Chiefs will surely be a good one. It’s at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, one of the most electric stadiums in the NFL.
Our favorite sideline reporter Jen Hale is back with three things fantasy football players need to know about the game:
-Saints new tight end Coby Fleener is proving to be a valuable fantasy dual threat: Fleener has proven himself through the air and on the ground. He started the game off on the right foot this past Sunday against the Panthers, powering his way into the end zone to put the Saints on the scoreboard first. Plus, the big tight end was good for 74 yards on six receptions, one of which was his touchdown. Fleener wraps up this week with 19 fantasy points as week six’s second-highest scoring tight end.
-As you`re adjusting your roster, keep in mind that this past Sunday, the Chiefs ran the ball more than they passed it, rushing a season-high 40 times versus the Oakland Raiders.
-The Chiefs seem to be intent on splitting the workload between perennial fantasy football favorite Jamaal Charles, who`s finally back from an ACL surgery – and LSU product Spencer Ware. This past Sunday, Charles carried nine times, which he translated to 33 yards and a touchdown – good for 10 fantasy points. Ware, meanwhile, rushed for 131 yards and a touchdown without putting the ball on the ground. The former Tiger also snagged two catches for another 32 yards, all equaling 22 points – the fifth-highest scoring fantasy running back.
Good luck with your leagues this week everybody!
