Kansas City Chiefs

Yahoo Ownership: 40%
numberFire Projected Rank: 3rd

Coming off their bye week, the 9-2 Kansas City Chiefs hit the road to take on the 2-9 Oakland Raiders in the first matchup of the season between these two divisional foes.

Although the Raiders are at home, the Chiefs are a 15.5-point favorite in this game, which makes them the biggest favorite on the Week 13 slate. The Raiders have been one of the most giving to opposing defenses, allowing the fourth-most fantasy points to the position this season. Over the last four weeks, three teams to face the Raiders have posted top-four fantasy finishes.

While the Chiefs offense deservedly generates a lot of attention, the Kansas City defense ranks third in sacks (36) and 10th in turnovers forced (17). Over their last four games, the Chiefs have finished as a top-eight defense three times.

On the other side, it's been a struggle for Derek Carr and the Raiders offense. The Raiders rank as the league's eighth-worst offense, per numberFire metrics, and Carr has taken 35 sacks on the year, third-most among all quarterbacks. In a game in which Carr should struggle to keep pace with the explosive Chiefs offense, the Kansas City defense is primed to post another big game.
