Best DFS Picks tonight for SNF Titans vs. Chiefs Week 9 Matchup | 2022 NFL Season
DraftKings and FanDuel are offering single game slates for Sunday Night Football between the Tennessee Titans and Kansas City Chiefs. Both slates begin at 8:20 p.m. EDT tonight. Let's look at the best players to target for both production and value this Sunday, October 16.
NFL DFS MVP/Captain Picks
Patrick Mahomes, QB, Kansas City Chiefs (DraftKings $12.0k, FanDuel $16.5k)
Patrick Mahomes is the clear-cut MVP/Captain pick, and it's not that close. Mahomes went 25-for-34 in his last game versus the Niners, finishing with 423 yards through the air. Mahomes also tossed three TDs in this game, which was the third time in four games that he had this many. Tonight, he'll take on a decent Titans defense, but Tennessee has allowed a lot of passing yards on the year. Mahomes throws some picks here and there. but his overall production is always pretty high, making it difficult to justify putting any other player in this slot. Mahomes is one of the best QBs in the league, and tonight he should be his usual dominant self under the bright lights of Sunday Night Football.
NFL DFS Flex Picks
Robert Woods, WR, Tennessee Titans (DraftKings $7.6k, FanDuel $8.5k)
The Titans' offense runs through Derrick Henry primarily, but Woods has good value tonight on both platforms. Woods averages just under five targets and just over three receptions, but the Chiefs surrender a lot of passing yards. This game could turn into a shootout, and if this does happen, Woods will benefit since he's Tennessee's leading receiver. The Titans are heavy underdogs, and if they find themselves in a hole early, they'll turn to the passing game more often, so plug Woods in to save salary for other players.

Harrison Butker, K, Kansas City Chiefs (DraftKings $5.0k, FanDuel $9.5k)
Harrison Butker has the luxury of kicking for a team that frequently gets down into the red zone. While kickers don't have monster fantasy games very often, their floor is typically pretty high, especially Butker's. Last week he didn't record a field goal, but he ended with six extra points. He'll likely have a solid number of field goal and extra point attempts tonight as the Chiefs score 31.9 points per game. Plug in Butker as a safer pick tonight on both platforms.
Other NFL DFS Value Picks: Travis Kelce, TE, Kansas City Chiefs (DraftKings $10.4k, FanDuel $14.5k), Derrick Henry, RB, Tennessee Titans (DraftKings $10.8k, FanDuel $16.0k)
