The reigning MVP Is almost as well known for his ability as a runner as his ability with throwing. He’s one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL but is deceptively quick and strong, which makes him a real threat when he decides the keep the football and rush. Through seven games he’s scored five rushing touchdowns.

In this case I’m backing him to have 30+ rushing yards. The Chiefs’ defense has been good against the run this season but Josh Allen always finds a way to rush. In seven games he’s had 25 or more rushing yards in all but one. It’s also worth noting that last season, he smashed that number in both games he played against the Chiefs.

When you’re looking at the best rushing players in this game, you have to look at James Cook. The Georgia alum broke out last season but has only grown as a player and has put up some silly numbers already this year. He’s averaging a touchdown per game but it’s how effective he is at moving the chains for the Bills that makes him so important.

He’s averaging six yards per carry this season, an incredible average given that we’re nearly halfway through the regular season. His alternate line for this game sits at 60+ rushing yards, a number he’s covered in five of seven games. He’s had 100+ rushing yards in four of seven games, and is fresh from an insane 216 yard performance against the Panthers last weekend.

The Chiefs offense started slowly and has gradually improved as the season has progressed but they’d really missed their star receiver. Rice hadn’t played since Week Four of last year, first due to injury and then this season down to suspension. Despite that there was a lot of hype from the coaching staff who were gushing about his performances in training and how much volume he’d see when he returned.

They weren’t lying. In just two games since returning from his ban he’s caught 16 of 19 passes and scored three touchdowns. He’s the alpha receiver that Patrick Mahomes has been missing and is going to be a serious problem for opposing teams down the stretch. He’s had seven or more receptions in each game so far and should easily manage six against the Bills, especially if this game turns into a shootout, which feels very possible.

The Chiefs running back corps haven’t really impressed this season and no single player has made a case why they deserve the workload and should be the team’s bellcow. However, it feels like that might have changed now with Kareem Hunt likely to have heavy usage and big performance this Sunday.

He played well against the Commanders on Monday Night Football and found the endzone in the victory. After a good showing he was always likely to be utilised more but with Isiah Pacheco questionable to play after an MCL injury on Monday, and having not trained this week (at the time of writing) then we’re set to see Hunt get the lion’s share of the carries, making him a great shot to score a touchdown against a defense who have given up nine touchdowns to running backs in seven games this season.
