Divisional Round Parlay: Alternate Receiving Yards
Marquise Brown and Dalton Schultz 25+ Receiving Yards Each (-135 at FanDuel)
Marquise Brown’s Outlook (25+ Receiving Yards)
The University of Oklahoma product signed a one-year deal worth up to $11 million in the offseason with the Chiefs. He previously played as a WR1 for both the Cardinals and Ravens.
Brown suffered a shoulder injury before the season began and was forced to miss the first 15 weeks.
The former 25th overall pick (drafted by Baltimore in 2019) has received a 19% target in the two games he’s played with Kansas City, earning eight and seven targets in Weeks 16 and 17.
During those contests, he recorded five receptions for 45 yards (against the Texans) and four receptions for 46 yards (vs. Pittsburgh).
Despite being a small sample size, it appears Brown has supplanted DeAndre Hopkins as the team’s WR2 behind Xavier Worthy. Hopkins was only targeted a total of eight times during the same two-week span.
Brown has gone 2-for-2 in terms of recording 25 or more yards and has cleared the number by at least 20 yards in both outings.
Now that he’s had an extra two weeks to practice and become more comfortable with Patrick Mahomes, 25 yards appears attainable against an opposition he’s previously hit the mark against.
Dalton Schultz’s Outlook (25+ Receiving Yards)
Houston’s starting tight end posted five receptions for 45 yards the last time he faced Kansas City in Week 16. He was also targeted a season-high eight times.
Schultz recorded 25 or more yards in 10-of-17 (58.8%) regular season games and averaged 31.29 yards per game during the regular season.
While his stats are nowhere near Pro Bowl caliber, the matchup this week makes it enticing to take him to collect 25 or more yards.
Kansas City’s defense has surrendered the most yards (an average of 70.05) among all 32 teams to opposing tight ends.
The Chiefs allowed a tight end in all but one game to record 25 or more yards. Out of all 17 contests, only the Chargers in Week 4 fell one yard short (Will Dissly).
Over the past 10 games, the leading tight end for teams facing the Chiefs has averaged 55.4 yards.
The Texans are 8.5-point underdogs this week, so if oddsmakers’ predictions are close, Houston might be forced into a passing game script that favors Schultz.
This scenario occurred when they last faced off, and Kansas City won 27-19.
