Heat Check of the Week
LB Nick Bolton, Kansas City Chiefs
Nick Bolton is coming off an amazing game in which he recorded 12 total tackles, two stuffs, one pass defended, and a forced fumble. After losing to the Jaguars on Monday Night Football, you can guarantee Patrick Mahomes doesn’t want to lose this game or to Jared Goff again. Look for another great game by Bolton as the Chiefs beat the Lions this week.
Pick up of the week
S Jaquan Brisker, Chicago Bears
The Bears’ defense was thought to be better than this for the 2025 season, and for some reason, they’re right in the middle. At 26 percent owned, Brisker is poised to have a great game against the Commanders in Washington this week. Pick up Brisker now, and you’ll dominate your opponents this week.
