AFC West Preview | Fantasy Football Podcast 8-6-25

The AFC West kicks off with a Denver Broncos offense that delivered some surprising value last year ... and then added some potentially large contributors for 2025. The Kansas City Chiefs come off two down years for scoring that just might set up their key players as fantasy football draft values. The Las Vegas Raiders changed the most vs. last year. (And that's a good thing!) While the Los Angeles Chargers might bring more questions than answers from their first year under Jim Harbaugh. We're breaking down the entire division, hunting for fantasy football sleepers, busts to avoid, and more.
