Week 2 DraftKings & FanDuel Showdown Strategy: Sunday Night NFL DFS for Colts @ Chiefs

The theme of Sunday Night Football is a test of teams whose quarterbacks are coming back from injury. Patrick Mahomes returned in Week 1 after a torn ACL put his early-season availability in jeopardy. Daniel Jones tore his Achilles last year, a few weeks before Mahomes’s injury, ending a resurgent season in which Jones had seemingly found his footing in his first year in Indianapolis.

When their quarterbacks have played at the top of their games, the Colts and the Chiefs—the latter more obviously, given their recent history—can contend at the top of the AFC. For now, though, there is still a lot to be settled regarding how competitive they will be in their respective 2026 campaigns. Fans stand ready to learn more about both teams in Sunday night’s primetime matchup.
