NFL PrizePicks: Chiefs vs. Packers Player Predictions for Sunday Night Football
The Chiefs vs. Packers match up for an interesting Sunday Night Football showdown slate. The Chiefs have been underperforming all year with a cast of pass-catchers who can’t make any plays. The Packers on the other hand are playing their best football of the season so far. Still, the Chiefs are nearly a touchdown favorite, and all of my NFL PrizePicks predictions align with a game script that leads to a Kansas City victory.

PrizePicks Plays: Chiefs vs. Packers
- AJ Dillon – More Than 11.5 Receiving Yards
- Christian Watson – More Than 40.5 Receiving Yards
- Isiah Pacheco – More Than 15.5 Fantasy Points
AJ Dillon – 11.5 Receiving Yards
Without Aaron Jones, Dillon is the primary back in the Packers offense. While he underwhelmed early in the year, he finally looked like a legitimate threat last week. While he’s more of a between-the-tackles runner than a pass catcher, this number on PrizePicks is still really low. Dillon’s win rate on his receiving yards projection on PrizePicks is over 70% in the NFL Fantasy Pick’em Tool for PrizePicks. The Packers’ running back is expected to have nearly 20 yards receiving tonight according to the RotoGrinders projections, and he has an even better chance if Green Bay falls behind.
Play: Dillon – More Than 11.5 Receiving Yards
Christian Watson – 40.5 Receiving Yards
Christian Watson came alive against the Lions on Thanksgiving, providing the Packers’ passing game with the spark it desperately needed. He took 7 targets for 94 yards on 5 catches and has proven to be a deep threat all season. Even if he isn’t as heavily targeted as last game, Watson should continue to run deep routes and could eclipse this total with a single reception. He projects for 53.37 receiving yards in the RotoGrinders projections tonight and fits the same game script as the rest of tonight’s PrizePicks predictions.
Play: Watson – More Than 40.5 Receiving Yards
Isiah Pacheco – 15.5 Fantasy Points
As long as the Chiefs are playing from ahead, Isiah Pacheco will always be heavily involved. Thankfully, we don’t need that to be the case tonight since their primary pass-catching back Jerick McKinnon is still sidelined. Pacheco should be a threat rushing and on check-downs and should have no problem surpassing 15.5 fantasy points. Last week without McKinnon, Pacheco played a season-high in snaps and had 5 targets, his second-highest total of the year so far. His increased involvement led to over 25 fantasy points for Pacheco, and he should see a similar type of game tonight. Pacheco is projected for more than 17 fantasy points tonight in the RotoGrinders projections and fits perfectly with the planned script the other predictions have as well.
