The Denver Broncos (3-9) will host the AFC West-leading Kansas City Chiefs (9-3) in a divisional matchup on Sunday.
Kansas City fell victim to the Cincinnati Bengals last week in their third loss to Cincy just this calendar year. The Bengals scored the final ten points of the game, keeping the Chiefs out of the endzone for the last 18 minutes of the contest.
Megastar Patrick Mahomes played turnover-free football but wasn't his usual explosive self, finishing 16-of-27 for 223 yards and two touchdowns.
The Broncos also lost last week, extending their losing streak to four games and dropping eight of their previous nine. They fell flat on offense against the Baltimore Ravens to lose 10-9.
Off-season pickup and former star QB Russell Wilson was again average at best, going 17-of-22 for 189 yards and no scores.
Below, we'll highlight the best player props for this mid-Sunday showdown between the Chiefs and the Broncos.

NFL Player Prop #1: Denver Broncos TE Greg Dulcich Over 40 Receiving Yards (-108)
Greg Dulcich is a rookie tight end out of UCLA who missed the first five games of 2022 because of an injury. Regarded as one of the premier pass catchers for his position in last year's draft, Dulcich has made up for missed time. He has been one of the Broncos' few offensive bright spots this season.
The rookie has been boom or bust this season, exceeding 40 receiving yards in all but three games in which he was a relative non-factor. Given the Chiefs' offensive firepower and the Broncos' lack thereof, Denver may be staring at a double-digit deficit in the face early.
This could force QB Russell Wilson into pass mode, and if that's the case, Dulcich should be the beneficiary.
NFL Player Prop #2: Denver Broncos RB Latavius Murray Under 50.5 Rushing Yards (-114)
The question is not whether Latavius Murray will get enough work to exceed 50 rushing yards but whether he will be effective enough with them.
The 32-year-old has averaged 15.5 attempts per game over his last three contests but has failed to surpass 50 yards in two of them. Murray sits at a lackluster 3.7 yards per attempt and faces an under-the-radar front seven in Kansas City this weekend.
With DT Chris Jones playing at an elite level this season, the Denver running back may struggle to find his footing in back-to-back weeks.
NFL Player Prop #3: Kansas City Chiefs TE Noah Gray Over 11.5 Receiving Yards (-114)
You may be asking yourself who Noah Gray is. That's a fair question, given that the two-year vet has just 26 catches in 28 career games.
However, the Duke product has ten catches for 111 yards and a score over his last five games. The Chiefs' tight end has exceeded 11.5 receiving in six of his previous seven games, and can be persisted with until he finally goes under the total.
