Best Chiefs-Chargers Prop Bet
Marquez Valdes-Scantling will be important for the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday Night. JuJu Smith-Schuster left last week’s game against the Jacksonville Jaguars with a nasty head injury, and he was second on the team in receptions. Speedy wide receiver Mecole Hardman will also miss tonight’s game. He was placed on IR two weeks ago, and his deep-ball potential will be missed against the Chargers. The Chiefs will lean on Valdes-Scantling heavily, as the Chargers will do all they can to stop All-Pro tight end Travis Kelce. Chargers safety Derwin James could play more in the box to minimize Kelce’s middle-of-the-field catching ability.
Valdes-Scantling has been a solid acquisition for the Chiefs. In nine games this season, Valdes-Scantling is averaging 17 yards per reception, which is fifth highest in the league. He reeled down his first touchdown of the season last week in a 27-17 win and will look to put the football world on notice, with all the lingering Chiefs injuries on offense.
Valdes-Scantling has disappeared in some games this season due to all the targets in Kansas City. He’s had under 20 yards and two receptions three times this year. But Valdes-Scantling has proven to be a reliable target for Mahomes when needed. He had at least 60 yards in three of his last five games, including a 111-yard game against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 7. He has all the makings to burn the Chargers defense deep down the field. Valdes-Scantling has five games with at least a 20-yard reception, and the Chargers have given up a 20-yard reception at least once in every game this season.
Valdes-Scantling has gone over his receiving line in five of nine games and will look to fill Hardman’s on Sunday Night Football.
