Alex Smith, QB, Kansas City Chiefs

DraftKings Price: $6,500
Projected Points: 22.6

The Kansas City Chiefs have the second-highest implied team total (25.75) on the main slate. They are hosting their divisional rival, the Oakland Raiders, and the Chiefs are currently 4-point favorites.

The Chiefs have been a team to target in large field contests, specifically GPPs. Their production is very much boom-or-bust, and Alex Smith has had a handful of enormous games and a few clunkers. If stacked with the right teammates, he can win you a contest. However, if stacked wrong -- or caught on a down week -- the Chiefs players buoyed by Smith will wreck a nice team.

It won't feel good selecting the Chiefs stack, but it could prove to be fruitful. Smith is projected to score 22.6 DraftKings points and the Raiders defense is allowing 241.1 passing yards per game. The first time these two teams met, Smith lit them up for 324 passing yards and 3 passing touchdowns for a cool 29.9 DraftKings points.

However frustrating your day might end if the Chiefs stink, it will pale in comparison to the joy you'll feel if they explode. Smith is worth the price when taking into consideration the upside.
