Friday football fun for September 5th, 2025, in Brazil!
The Chiefs are 3.5-point favorites with the over/under set at 44.5 points.
Chiefs Breakdown
Patrick Mahomes is an interesting price tag. The rushing ability is still there for him and certainly in play at the captain. Isiah Pacheco is healthy and coming in the middle of the range in pricing. Kareem Hunt is a boom or bust option at the goal line. He is a tough click at the price tag he is at. At the receiver position, Rashee Rice is out for the year's first six games. Rookie Jalen Royals is out. That leaves 6 receivers now. The first one up is Xavier Worthy, who can also earn points off the ground. The speedy receiver is a captain-worthy option. Hollywood Brown is healthy coming into this game. The price tag is nice enough as a value. JuJu Smith-Schuster is overpriced to me, but we know he can see a couple of targets in this game. Tyquan Thornton can pay off his cheap price tag with a couple of long bomb targets; he also had a nice preseason. At the tight end position, Travis Kelce had an off-brand season last year for his typical game. Is his mind in the game? That is the million-dollar question. The backups this year are Noah Gray and Robert Tonyan. I don't like either one in this game.
Chargers Breakdown
Justin Herbert, man oh man. What to do with him. I am hovering over the field on Justin Herbert. At the running back spot, Omarion Hampton is the starter coming into this game. The price tag is hefty for a rookie starting back, but maybe worth it. Najee Harris is slightly priced under him, and how healthy is he coming into this game? At the wide reciever position, Ladd McConkey is the number one guy on the team. He could pay off his price tag when getting peppered with targets and touchdown opportunities. Keenan Allen is back where he belongs! Reunion time. The connection is there for him and Justin Herbert together. I like him as a captain option to be different from the field. Quentin Johnson has been hard to trust so far in his career. The Chargers did bring in rookie receivers, and one to highlight at a great price tag is Tre Harris. The tight ends on the team are super cheap on DraftKings regarding Tyler Conklin and Will Dissly. Both could pay off their price tags.
