Kansas City trails 13-6 at halftime as the offense struggles without Rashi Rice and Xavier Worthy, pushing Taekwon Thornton into a bigger role with a 41-yard opening drive highlight. Mahomes sits at 12-of-21 for 98 yards, a few misfires dampening the rhythm. Isaiah Pacheco leads KC with four carries for 21 yards as the run game stalls behind a banged-up line. Los Angeles’ Justin Herbert threads 12-of-18 for 171 yards and a TD, taking advantage of time in the pocket. Fantasy angles hinge on Thornton staying involved and the Chiefs re-emphasizing a vertical game once Rice returns, while Kelce and Jones must reclaim high-leverage targets in the second half. KC’s defense must pressure Herbert and limit Chargers’ big plays to flip the game.
