It might require you to sit on pins and needles, but holding tight until Monday Night Football in regard to your fantasy football lineup could pay off in Week 3 as the Kansas City Chiefs square off against the Baltimore Ravens.
In regard to who to target for a start against the Ravens, look no further than Week 1. On opening day, the Chiefs took on the Houston Texans in a high-flying offensive contest. The Texans have taken a step back in comparison to the Ravens, so expect another plethora of points to go around, or even more so.
Pending his health, Chiefs wide receiver Sammy Watkins is sticking out like a sore thumb. At $7,400 salary cost on DraftKings, the second-highest among all quarterbacks, Patrick Mahomes isn’t a cost-efficient option. Instead, go with Watkins and his $4,500 salary. DraftKings allocates an average of $5,555 per position, and Watkins can save you a few dollars for elsewhere.
Yes, the Ravens do have the best defense Watkins and the Chiefs have faced this season, but they have the best offense, too. The Chiefs are poised to need to put some points up themselves in this one. The last time the Chiefs had this feeling heading into a game, it was the opener, and Watkins was relied on by Mahomes.
Watkins, dealing with head injury, is listed as questionable, but he took to social media to indicate he’s healthy. That combined with nine targets, seven catches and a touchdown in Week 1 make him a smart play.
