Chiefs player to watch
WR DeAndre Hopkins has exceeded every expectation from when Kansas City acquired him for a conditional fifth-round pick from Tennessee. He has 14 catches for 171 yards and two touchdowns in his first three games for the Chiefs; by comparison he had 15 catches for 173 yards and one TD in six games with the Titans. He also commands attention from the defense, and that has allowed Travis Kelce and others to flourish the past three weeks.
Bills player to watch
Linebacker Terrel Bernard missed the playoff meeting in January because of an ankle injury. The dual-purpose player could have made a difference in an outing in which the Chiefs finished with 146 yards rushing and allowed Kelce to score twice, with Taylor Swift celebrating each of the touchdowns in an end zone suite.

Fantasy tip
Chiefs RB Kareem Hunt has topped 100 yards from scrimmage in each of his past two, and in line for a productive game against a defense that’s allowed 120-plus yards rushing six times. Jonathan Taylor had 107 yards on 16 carries in the first half last week, before the Colts stopped feeding him the ball in the second half in finishing with 114 yards on 21 carries.
