Fantasy football 2017: Kansas City Chiefs have 3 of top 50 players

No. 50, Tyreek Hill, wide receiver

The final member of the Chiefs can be found at No. 50 overall, halfway through Gramling’s list, with wide receiver Tyreek Hill joining in. “He only played 40 snaps in a game once last season, but could be playing 40-50 every game this year,” says Gramling. He’s also right on this count. While it’s impossible to tell whether Hill can keep up with last year’s stunning production, the reality is that the Chiefs are counting on using him more than ever. Until defenses come up with a way to shut him down, you have to assume he’s going to do more of the same, especially as Andy Reid learns how to use him best.

Depending on whether or not your league includes return stats will make Hill that much more legit as a top 50 prospect or not, but even if not, Reid has already mentioned that he’s committed to incorporating Hill more into the offense next year. In fact, to keep him fresh, it wouldn’t surprise us to see a player like De’Anthony Thomas or C.J. Spiller given the bulk of the return opportunities so Hill can focus on developing as a wideout.

Last season, Hill didn’t really going until the second half of the season, but he finished the year with 61 catches for 593 receiving yards and 6 touchdowns. He also rushed another 24 times for 267 rushing yards and 3 touchdowns.
