The Chiefs recently lost to the Buffalo Bills in a close game in Week 6, as QB Patrick Mahomes improved his numbers by throwing for 338 yards and two touchdowns; he also however had two interceptions, including one to end the game. Even with the loss, the Chiefs still slightly top the league in points scored per game with 29.8.Last week's loss to the Atlanta Falcons was rather unexpected for the 49ers, as they saw their defense allow Marcus Mariota to amass a total of 3 touchdowns. Only 50 yards were gained on the ground by San Francisco, while quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo had two interceptions on the day. The 49ers' defense allowed the most points this season (the Falcons scored 28 points), yet they still rank second in the league in terms of points allowed per game (14.8).
Let’s take a look at three players I expect to make an impact on this week.
San Francisco 49ers vs. Kansas City Chiefs Best Anytime TD Picks
Anytime Touchdown Scorer - Brandon Aiyuk (+180)
Arizona State alum Brandon Aiyuk has quietly turned into one of the best pass catchers in the NFC this season, racking up 320 yards on 25 receptions to start the year. His three touchdowns on the season also lead all 49ers, and he’ll now welcome to town a Chiefs’ secondary ripe for exposure.
Through six games, the Chiefs are allowing receivers to run rampant, currently ranking #27 in the league in allowing 266 yards per game. With the confidence of one of the league’s best defenses on their side, look for the 49ers to air it out and for Aiyuk to be on the winning end of that matchup.
Anytime Touchdown Scorer - George Kittle (+190)
Riddle with injuries to start the season, Kittle has so far not been his normal self, with just 19 catches through four games and zero touchdowns to boot. Now, as healthy as he’s been, Kittle was worked more into the game plan last week and I think will again be this weekend.
Still one of the best tight ends in the league when healthy, look for Kittle to finally catch a touchdown his week against a weak Chiefs’ secondary.
Anytime Touchdown Scorer - JuJu Smith-Schuster (+210)
Smith-Schuster, recorded his first 100-yard game (113 total yards) and his first touchdown as Chief last season, as he was Mahomes' go-to target throughout the day. Besides Kelce, Smith-Schuster leads all Chiefs pass catchers with 370 yards on the season, averaging a team-best 13.7 yards per catch.
In all likelihood, it’s just a matter of time before Mahomes and Juju find the end zone more, and I like him to turn in his second straight scoring performance in this spot.
