Kansas City Chiefs defense to finish 1st among fantasy defenses in Week 6
Chiefs might be my number one defense this week (Week 6, vs. the Chargers)
The 49ers' schedule is very good; the next two weeks are against Miami and Arizona. Make sure to add their D/ST this week off waivers.
Schedule is great for the Chiefs DST over the next three weeks. Add them.
At this price, we're willing to take a chance on the upgraded unit against Baker Mayfield and the Buccaneers.
