Kansas City Chiefs (KC, DEF) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add As Streaming Defense

OWNED IN:  53% of Fleaflicker Leagues

A fantasy football team defense is usually only as good as its opponent. Sure there are units that are always must-starts (this year's Broncos defense may be an example). The Chiefs fall into the former category for me, coming off three-straight games where they allowed more 30 points. Kansas City has also registered only one sack over the last two games, while also failing to force a turnover. Now this is the part where I tell you the Chiefs' last three games were at home against the Broncos and on the road against the Packers and Bengals. All three of those teams have offenses that can be described as at the very least "good".

Luckily for the Chiefs (and anyone that has held onto their defense in fantasy), the schedule eases up dramatically.  Kansas City hosts the Bears, the potentially Big Ben-less Steelers and offensively-challenged Lions over the next four weeks, with a trip to Minnesota mixed in.  The Chiefs as a whole are a better team at Arrowhead Stadium, still one of the biggest homefield advantages in football. Justin Houston is an elite pass rusher that is surrounded by talented players on all three levels on the defense when things are going right. A good pass rush can get sacks and force fumbles, while also providing the pressure needed to cause an interception. With an upcoming slate that includes Jay Cutler, Michael Vick, and Matthew Stafford in K.C., I think the Chiefs are a worthy stream option.
