R.Campbell3 months ago
Candice Ward/Key Injuries The Green Bay Packers have a beat-up backfield. Both Aaron Jones (knee) and A.J. Dillon (groin) missed practice Wednesday. Of the two, the latter appears the more likely to play against the Chiefs, as does wide receiver Jayden Reed. The Packers aren't the only team that could be short a running back in this game. Jerick McKinnon of the Chiefs missed last week with a groin injury, and he was absent from the practice field Wednesday.Start of the WeekIsiah Pacheco, RB, Kansas City Chiefs [DraftKings DFS Value: $6,500]: McKinnon has been an afterthought this season largely because Pacheco has blossomed into an every-down back. The Packers have given up the 10th-most PPR points per game to RBs this season.Sit of the WeekChristian Watson, WR, Green Bay Packers [DraftKings DFS Value: $4,600]: Watson is coming off one of his best efforts of the season last week against the Lions. But this week's coverage matchup with L'Jarius Sneed and the Chiefs is a difficult one.Justin Watson, WR, Kansas City Chiefs [DraftKings DFS Value: $3,500]: Watson was relatively quiet last week against the Raiders, but in a showdown with the Philadelphia Eagles the week before he drew 11 targets, and he has found the end zone in consecutive games.Trade Block Buy Low/Sell High This is the time of year when dynasty managers with a chance at a title become willing to trade all kinds of picks for an opportunity for glory, including first-rounders in 2024. Saying goodbye to a stud player like Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce is never easy, but the veteran has a lot more value for "win now" teams than squads who are already researching the 2024 rookie class.Stat to Know
