Success during single-game slates in NFL daily Fantasy is all about maximizing value and finding ways to create lineup variance, so knowing the Buccaneers vs. Chiefs injury report can be a benefit. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will visit the Kansas City Chiefs on Monday Night Football at 8:15 p.m. ET and the Bucs are dealing with several key injuries at wide receiver. Mike Evans (hamstring) and Chris Godwin (leg) are out, while Jalen McMillan (hamstring) is questionable. So who steps up to catch passes from the Tampa Bay wide receivers' room and how might you be able to use those absences to your advantage in NFL DFS stacks?
It's a loaded NFL DFS player pool for Buccaneers vs. Chiefs and understanding the NFL DFS matchups can help you identify value for your NFL DFS lineups.

Now, McClure has turned his attention to Chiefs vs. Bucs on Monday Night Football and just locked in his top daily Fantasy football picks. You can only see his picks and analysis at SportsLine.
Top NFL DFS picks for Buccaneers vs. Chiefs
One of McClure's top NFL DFS picks for Monday Night Football is Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. The nine-time Pro Bowler is coming off his best game of the season, catching 10 passes for 90 yards and his first touchdown of the season in a win over the Raiders on Sunday. Now he'll match up with a Buccaneers pass defense that ranks 29th in the NFL.
Kelce got off to an extremely sluggish start by his standard but he's been heavily involved in the offensive gameplan since Rashee Rice (knee) went down for the season. Kelce has been targeted at least nine times and finished with at least seven catches for 70 yards in three of his last four games.
Part of McClure's optimal NFL DFS strategy also includes rostering Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt. Now in his second stint with the Chiefs, Hunt has piled up 348 scrimmage yards in four games since signing with the Chiefs in late-September and he's scored four touchdowns in his last three games.
He's become the workhorse running back in Cleveland with Isiah Pacheco (leg) out and Tampa Bay allows 5.2 yards per carry (30th in the NFL) this season while giving up 373 rushing yards in back-to-back losses to the Ravens and Falcons. Expect another heavy workload for Hunt, making him a must-roster in Buccaneers vs. Chiefs DFS lineups. See who else McClure likes right here.
