Patrick Mahomes Under 288.5 passing yards (-115)
"The Chiefs have won four straight, so they're back, right? Well, the offense has really only clicked in one of those four wins, when Mahomes went 35 of 50 for 406 yards and five TDs against the Raiders. That was just the second time he totaled even 280 yards since Week 2, and I'm not sure this defense profiles as one that's going to give up a ton of passing yards. Justin Herbert got to 300 passing yards against the Broncos last week, but he was just the third QB to top 270 passing yards against Denver all year. Expect Vic Fangio to take away the deep stuff and try to limit the Chiefs' points ceiling by making them drive methodically for points, and I think that gameplan makes it more likely Mahomes finishes with 275 yards than 300."

Javonte Williams Under 73.5 rushing yards (-135)
"With Melvin Gordon doubtful to play, it's time to get excited about Williams, the electric rookie who's averaging 4.9 yards per carry. But I think there's some value in fading a massive uptick in his rushing attempts. For starters, there's no guarantee he'll jump from a 58% snap share, where he's been the last two games, up to the 85-90% range. The Broncos will still want to mix in Mike Boone to help take some of the workload off Williams' shoulders and keep him in the rhythm where he's been the most effective. Then you look at game script and the possibility that Denver will be playing from behind in the second half as underdogs of more than one score. Williams has averaged under eight carries per game in Denver's five losses and just over 13 carries per game in Denver's six wins. Which scenario is more likely on Sunday night?"

Clyde Edwards-Helaire Under 80.5 rushing and receiving yards (-105)
"Edwards-Helaire returned to action in the Chiefs' last game before the bye, rolling up 74 yards on 14 touches. While I'd expect his snap rate to only increase after an extra week of rest, he popped up on the injury report on Friday as questionable to play due to an illness. Andy Reid doesn't seem worried he'll miss the game at all, but I like fading the production of a player with a late-week illness with the expectation he doesn't see as much playing time as we might expect. The Chiefs know they have a perfectly good secondary option at the position in Darrel Williams, and I wouldn't be surprised to see more of a split between the pair of backs due to Edwards-Helaire's illness. If CEH doesn't reach 14 touches this week, it'll be tough to top this number."
