My fantasy football team is sucking it up thanks to an injury to my top pick, a Kansas City Chiefs running back you may know -- Jamaal Charles. (I get lots of, 'You write about football for a living so you should be great at fantasy football' but it just doesn't work like that.)
The Chiefs are struggling to the point where it's probably not a good idea to play any KC guys on your fantasy team. But if you must, I put together a few predictions on Chiefs players' fantasy numbers. I have the Chiefs scoring two offensive touchdowns so both those are included in these predictions.
QB Matt Cassel: Unfortunately, the Chiefs might be playing from behind this week which is a fortunate situation for those of you that must play Cassel on your fantasy football team today. I could see a situation where the Chiefs get down in the first half and Cassel is forced to throw it a lot more. Cassel's not a great fantasy play because he doesn't get many yards and, at least this year, hardly any touchdowns either. My prediction for Cassel: 210 passing yards, 1 TD, 1 INT.
RB Thomas Jones: He'll be the main guy now that RB Jamaal Charles is done for the year but that doesn't mean he'll be as effective. Jones is clearly at the end of his career but he was a decent fantasy football play at times last year because he received a lot of carries, he had opportunities. Unfortunately, he's not like Charles where he's going to bust off for 75 yards on one play. He'll be steady Eddie getting a few yards every carry which means he needs a lot of touches to do anything substantial. My prediction for Jones: 75 rushing yards, 15 receiving yards, 1 TD.
RB Dexter McCluster: I actually have him on my own team and, in a points-per-reception league, he's not a terrible play. He has 21 touches this season and he should be right around 10-14 touches today. He's not going to change the offense, or your fantasy team, but he's a nice addition. My prediction for McCluster: 30 rushing yards, 45 receiving yards.
WR Dwayne Bowe: He's about the only receiver worth mentioning for the Chiefs. Like Cassel, Bowe can put up some decent fantasy numbers today if the Chiefs get behind. He has seven receptions on the season and I could see him getting as many as seven today. I think this is a decent day for Bowe. My prediction for Bowe: 85 receiving yards, 1 TD.
I was once fired from a job two days after I waited on Matt Cassel and his wife Lauren Killian. Totally my AP moment to remember. Unfortunately also one of my stupidest moments.

by ChiefWarPaint on Sep 25, 2011 10:44 AM CDT up reply actions I think it's unlikely Jones clears 50 yards rushing Unless the Chiefs get an early lead and are able to hold onto it, Jones probably won?t get the 20+ carries he?d need to get 75 yards.
I think all of the other predictions look about right. I could see Dexter getting a few more yards on the ground and through the air. I?m guessing he gets around 90 total yards, with perhaps a TD.
by marbotty on Sep 25, 2011 10:18 AM CDT reply actions Sleeper My prediction. McCluster gets hurt (not that I want him to). This will be Jackie Battles break out day. Just saying ? I have a hunch.
by Bigcherokeechief on Sep 25, 2011 10:49 AM CDT up reply actions that's all well and good, but and i?m honestly not trying to be a troll here, but a 2/3 empty arrowhead says that a lot of other people feel the same way.
richie rich will either recognize that what he?s doing so far is an abysmal failure, and change?or we?ll keep continuing down the same path and we?ll have a stadium of 10,000 people and blackouts every week.
i am sick and tired of these people fucking around instead of really building a winning franchise?spending up to the cap and putting real talent evaluators in place would be a decent start?finding the next scott pioli (patriots version) instead of being lazy and grabbing whatever?s ?hot? would also help.
by Home Run Tony Cogan on Sep 25, 2011 10:59 AM CDT up reply actions Agreed If people don?t like the franchise I think they need to move on.
by Mas Cervezas on Sep 25, 2011 11:19 AM CDT via mobile up reply actions Amen I can?t see Thomas Jones rushing for more than 20 yards on this defense.
by Bigcherokeechief on Sep 25, 2011 10:43 AM CDT up reply actions Guy I'm playing has Charles and Hillis. Be pretty bad if I can?t pull out a W with his top two picks out.
