Best DFS Bets for Sunday-Kansas City Chiefs vs. Los Angeles Chargers- November 20

The Kansas City Chiefs and Los Angeles Chargers square off in an AFC West battle with plenty of AFC playoff implications. The Chiefs are on a roll and eye the #1 overall seed in the AFC. The Chargers are getting healthy at the right time. Who will be victorious on Sunday Night?

Today we look at the best DFS plays from this intriguing match-up.

Best quarterback picks

Cash Games: Patrick Mahomes, QB, Kansas City Chiefs (DraftKings $K, FanDuel $17K)

Patrick Mahomes is a dominant DFS force. Mahomes will have to find alternative options to get involved, sustaining his high ceiling.

Tournaments: Justin Herbert, QB, Los Angeles Chargers (Draftkings $K, FanDuel $14K)

When Justin Herbert is healthy and has his full complement of weapons, Herbert is as good as anyone in the NFL. The field will lean on Mahomes. If Justin Herbert can match Patrick Mahomes, you can gain leverage.

Best running back picks

Cash Games: Austin Ekeler, RB, Los Angeles Chargers (DraftKings $K, FanDuel $15K)

Austin Ekeler will be the chalk play at the RB position. Ekeler is a dominant player not only as a runner but also as a receiver. The Chargers are still getting their veteran receivers reacclimated to the offense. Expect Justin Herbert and the Chargers' coaching staff to lean on Austin Ekeler.

Tournament: Isiah Pacheco, RB, Kansas City Chiefs (DraftKings $K, FanDuel $9K)

Isiah Pacheco climbed the Kansas City Chiefs' depth chart at the RB position and now finds himself at the top. The Chiefs value Pacheco so much in the running game that they are now considering removing him for special team returns, which he formerly specialized in. Everyone will be on the Chiefs' passing game, but few will be on the Chiefs' running game.

Wide receivers and tight ends

Cash game: Travis Kelce, TE, Kansas City Chiefs (DraftKings $K, FanDuel $14.5K)

Travis Kelce is as safe a play that exists on the NFL DFS slate. Kelce is the #1 target for Patrick Mahomes, and with JuJu Smith-Schuster and Mecole Hardman missing this week, expect Patrick Mahomes to lean on the future Hall-of-Fame TE even more in this one.

Tournament: Keenan Allen, WR, Los Angeles Chargers (DraftKings $K, FanDuel $10.5K)

Playing Keenan Allen during his first week back from the hamstring that cost him the entire 2022 season is risky. Keenan Allen is an older player, and we know how problematic hamstring injuries can be to older athletes. Most of the field thinks the same thing, so if you can deal with the risk, Keenan Allen can help you gain leverage.
