5. Tyreek Hill vs. Los Angeles Chargers

The Kansas City Chiefs may be the surprise of this young season. They finally have offensive playmakers to go with their great defense. Tyreek Hill is the best of the bunch.

Last week when the Dolphins took on the Chargers, their best wide receiver also plays primarily in the slot. Tyreek Hill moves all over the field but will do significant damage from the slot, especially against the Chargers secondary.

Jarvis Landy had 12 catches last week. The Dolphins were reluctant to attack the outside corners for the Chargers. Alex Smith will follow suit. The key to this game will be for Smith to get the ball to Hill as quickly as possible and let him make plays. Hill is always touchdown threat. 

Andy Reid has shown that he wants to get Hill ball as much as possible. He is second on the team in targets, trailing only tight end Travis Kelce by three targets. Hill also has been given three carries in this young season. Reid has identified that he can be utilized anywhere on the field as a threat.

With Landry’s success last week and Bennie Fowler’s touchdowns in week one, the Chargers have a glaring depth problem at corner. Hill will exploit that, even more so in PPR scoring formats. The young playmaker is making himself a must start in every league, and a value in most daily games.

Next on this list are three tight ends. The first of which is a player that has always been talented but may be in the best opportunity in years.
