Los Angeles Rams are all set to wind down their forgettable 2022 season as they travel to face the AFC's best themselves, Kansas City Chiefs. The Rams will start a new QB on Sunday, while the Chiefs have larger aspirations to pursue, namely the Super Bowl.
Today we look at the best DFS plays from this intriguing match-up.
Best quarterback picks
Cash Games: Patrick Mahomes, QB, Kansas City Chiefs (DraftKings $6K, FanDuel $7.6K)
Patrick Mahomes is as safe a play as there is at the QB position.
Tournaments: Bryce Perkins, QB, Los Angeles Rams (Draftkings $5.7K, FanDuel $7.3K)
If you want to live on the wild side, Bryce Perkins is the guy for you. We know that he can run like a maniac, and he will have to put in a shift in this one.

Best running back picks
Cash Games: Isiah Pacheco, RB, Kansas City Chiefs (DraftKings $6.9K, FanDuel $8.4K)
Isiah Pacheco has taken over the Chiefs' backfield as the regular starter. Pacheco runs with more tenacity than any of the other Kansas City backs. With Clyde Edwards-Helaire on the bench for a while, Pacheco's role has never been on firmer ground.
Tournament: Jerick McKinnon, RB, Kansas City Chiefs (DraftKings $7.7K, FanDuel $8.7K)
The Chiefs should have their way with the Rams. They may want to get Jerick McKinnon more involved as a pass-catcher out of the backfield and as a runner.
Wide receivers and tight ends
Cash Games: Travis Kelce, TE, Kansas City Chiefs (DraftKings $6.5K, FanDuel $7.2K)
There is no safer option at any position in fantasy football than Travis Kelce. The Chiefs have had to adapt their offensive scheme due to how defenses began to play them with two high safeties to eliminate the big play, not to mention they traded WR Tyreek Hill before the season. The Chiefs have leaned on Travis Kelce more than ever. The price tag is always the issue, but you want to ensure you have some shares of the best TE on the planet.
Tournament: JuJu Smith-Schuster, WR, Kansas City Chiefs (DraftKings $4.4K, FanDuel $5.6K)
DFS players may be hesitant to return to JuJu Smith-Schuster in his first game back from a concussion. Looking around the current arsenal of weapons on the Chiefs roster, JuJu seems like a necessary option in the passing game. Mecole Hardman remains on the IR, and the recently-acquired Kadarius Toney is injured again. Most NFL pundits believe the Chiefs should have their way with the Rams, so JuJu should have ample opportunity to re-establish himself as one of the Chiefs' primary pass catchers.
