1. Hill tops 175 yards with multiple TDs

After being out since early in Week 1, Tyreek Hill rejoined the Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver corps last week against the Texans. Though he wasn’t ultra explosive as he was likely at less than 100 percent, Hill still made a big impact as the most productive piece of the offense. Hill finished the loss with five receptions for 80 yards and two touchdowns.

Entering this road tilt against the Broncos off of the short week, the Chiefs are thinner than normal at wide receiver with Sammy Watkins having already been ruled out for the game. While that does mean that Chris Harris Jr. and the Denver defense should be able to hone in on Hill, his speed remains the ultimate game-changer.

Andy Reid is certainly aware of the challenges that being short-handed in regards to pass-catchers presents. Having said that, he’ll scheme to make that less of an issue. While Hill will surely get some shots down the field, he should also get a chance to make plays with the ball in his hands on short and intermediate throws.

With Hill surely being the focal point of the passing attack, the speedster will shine against the Broncos. He should see double-digit targets and will go to work, dicing up Denver’s defense for close to 200 yards receiving and getting at least two scores on the board for the second consecutive week.
