The Green Bay Packers will play host to the Kansas City Chiefs on "Sunday Night Football" this week, and we've targeted two player props for the cross-conference matchup.
Have the Chiefs finally found a No. 1 receiver for Patrick Mahomes?
Rashee Rice broke out last week with career-high marks in targets (10), catches (eight) and receiving yards (107) against the Las Vegas Raiders. Mahomes made it a point to feed Rice after weeks of disappointing play from Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Kadarius Toney, Skyy Moore and others. Their connection is only going to grow stronger as the season progresses.
Travis Kelce is still going to be Mahomes' favorite weapon in the passing game, but no one stepped up to take the No. 2 role until Rice last week. We think he keeps the momentum rolling against the Packers.
Tucker Kraft started for the injured Luke Musgrave last week, but he wasn't too involved in Green Bay's passing game. The tight end did score a touchdown, but he finished the game with just 15 receiving yards on two targets.
Kraft hasn't seen more than three targets in a game all season, and he's averaging just 8.3 yards per catch in limited action. The Chiefs also rank third in the NFL in passing yards allowed per game, so Jordan Love could struggle against the best passing defense he's seen all year.
