The NFL wraps up Week 9 Sunday with a potential AFC playoff matchup. The Kansas City Chiefs host the Tennessee Titans at Arrowhead Stadium with kickoff set for 8:20 p.m. ET on NBC. The Chiefs are a 12.5-point favorite at DraftKings Sportsbook with the total set at 45.5.
The Chiefs come out of their bye week looking to build off a big road win against the 49ers. The Titans have won five straight and have shot past their divisional counterparts. Both teams are 5-2 and this matchup is huge for both teams. The winner gets the critical head-to-head tiebreaker come playoff team, which could prove to be a difference-maker if they meet up in January.
Tennessee has some significant names on their injury report heading into the weekend. Ryan Tannehill is dealing with a sprained ankle and was downgraded to a DNP on Thursday after getting in limited work on Wednesday, but he was able to get a limited workload in on Friday. Tannehill has said it’s about pain tolerance, so this could come down to the wire. On the other hand, Derrick Henry was downgraded mid-week as well, but he was emphatic that he would play on Sunday and has been removed from the injury report.

Fantasy football impact
Malik Willis could get another crack if Ryan Tannehill can’t go, but he has no fantasy value for the time-being. Derrick Henry is a must-start after being taken off the injury report. Even if he faces stacked boxes, his upside is always tremendous.
