Chiefs look to use WR Tyreek Hill's speed

Oct 24, 2016

Before the play that would deliver the Kansas City Chiefs a long-awaited downfield touchdown pass, quarterback Alex Smith had the most basic of instructions for rookie wide receiver Tyreek Hill.

“Alex just told me to run as fast as I can,’’ Hill said.

Hill can carry out those instructions better than anyone on the Chiefs. Hill, the fastest player on his team, did as he was told. He reached the end zone in time to make a one-handed catch of a 38-yard pass from Smith for the Chiefs’ final touchdown of their 27-21 win over the New Orleans Saints on Sunday.

Fantasy Impact:

Hill is a rookie so the Chiefs weren't sure what they would get as he also plays special teams. He's tied for the team lead in TDs with three but before this week his longest play was 13 yards. Hill is only fifth on the team in receptions, however.

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
