Derrick Gore Daily Fantasy News, Rankings, Projections

Darrel Williams will be active Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals leading to the healthy scratch of Derrick Gore. The Chiefs will have Williams, Jerick McKinnon, and Clyde Edwards-Helaire available to use in what could be a high-scoring game. Over the past couple of weeks it seems as though McKinnon has taken over the lead back role for Kansas City with CEH as a complimentary piece, though it remains to be seen what HC Andy Reid elects to do today. Williams could play a role today in the passing game if the Chiefs are trailing and need to put up some points in a hurry. The Kansas City backfield has been frustrating for DFS players so far this postseason and could continue to be this way today. It might be best to spread your exposure out between all available backs until a clear depth chart emerges.

As expected, Clyde Edwards-Helaire is active Sunday for the Chiefs' matchup with the Dallas Cowboys while Derrick Gore has been listed inactive. CEH is expected to play a major role in the backfield but Darrel Williams has also carved out a significant role in his absence. CEH will likely handle much of the early down work with Williams handling most of the passing downs. Jerrick McKinnon also figures to have a minor role backing up CEH and Williams, especially with Gore inactive. It will probably be best to stay away from the Chiefs backfield until the dust settles and clear roles emerge.
