Brazil hosts a kickoff that doubles as a test of two AFC West rebuilds. Herbert’s Chargers bring Keenan Allen and Quinton Johnston into a weaponized passing attack, while Mahomes’ Chiefs counter with an updated O‑line and a vertical, play‑action emphasis. The pod breaks down Chris Jones vs Mai Beckton, Derwin James’ impact, and the keys: protect Mahomes, establish a run/PA balance, and pressure Herbert while leveraging Chargers’ rookie weapons downfield. Fantasy angles tilt toward Chargers pass-catchers and Chiefs’ explosive targets in a likely high‑scoring opener.
