A Chiefs win can leave room for Geno Smith to throw for plenty of yards. He passed for 252, 287 and 290 in the Jets’ last three losses. That makes these Chiefs parlay picks more interesting than simply asking every New York player to struggle: you can back Kansas City and still consider its opponent’s quarterback.
For Side & Support Parlay Plays, the starting point is your chosen winner. We look at Kenneth Walker III and Xavier Worthy in Chiefs wins, then Smith in Jets losses, with each record set beside his full record over the same period. Walker’s rushing workload and Worthy’s modest receiving target offer two Kansas City routes; Smith offers a different contribution from the other sideline.
Worthy’s records cover his 2025 and 2026 Chiefs regular-season appearances. Walker and Smith use this season with their current teams. Walker’s five wins and Smith’s six losses are small samples. The individual DraftKings prices below were captured on November 8 and can change.

Xavier Worthy: 20+ receiving yards
Worthy doesn’t need a big afternoon to reach 20 yards, but his last two games show why even that modest ask deserves a look. He caught three passes on six targets in each, yet finished with only 11 yards at Seattle and 13 at Denver. The catches arrived; the yardage didn’t.
His Chiefs wins have usually looked better. This season’s winning games brought 18, 25, 20, 70 and 73 receiving yards. The 18-yard opener against Denver is the only winning miss across the two-season record. It also explains the price choice: 15+ yards costs −326, while 20+ costs −220. The 15-yard target reached all 10 Chiefs wins and 17 of 21 appearances, compared with nine wins and 16 appearances at 20. This season, that’s five of five wins and five of seven appearances at 15, versus four of five wins and four of seven appearances at 20. Paying more for 15 would have covered that Denver win; accepting 20 gives up that cushion for a larger potential payout.
Rice returned from a hamstring absence in the latest Denver game and caught seven of eight targets for 53 yards. Worthy remains behind him on the expected receiver depth chart, with Travis Kelce also part of the passing game. If your Kansas City view includes useful work from Worthy without a breakout, the lower yardage milestones fit that idea. His recent three-catch games are a reminder that reception volume alone won’t get him there.
Kenneth Walker III: 70+ rushing yards
Walker has had at least 18 carries in every Chiefs win this season, giving the rushing option a clear workload story. He turned those games into 173, 117, 70, 177 and 128 yards. The perfect five-game record is appealing, but Miami’s exact 70 matters when choosing the line.
DraftKings offered 70+ yards at −302 and 80+ at −190. Going to 80 improves the payout while dropping the Miami win: four of five Chiefs wins and four of seven appearances reached it. Moving down to 60+ costs −525 and reached all five wins and six of seven appearances. That extra cushion would have helped last week, when Walker finished on 69 yards in the Denver loss.
He still had 21 carries in that game, so a busy afternoon doesn’t settle the yardage question. His other recent loss brought 36 yards on 14 carries at Seattle. Walker remains the expected lead back, but Emmett Johnson caught all five of his targets for 128 yards against Denver and gained 15 yards on his only carry. That performance gives the backup a case for more work. The Jets are also missing defensive end Joseph Ossai and tackle T’Vondre Sweat, who is on injured reserve. Those absences describe the matchup; five Chiefs wins remain a short history to build around.
Geno Smith: over 216.5 passing yards
Smith gives you a way to allow New York some offense while keeping the Chiefs-win premise. His last three losses all cleared this line, and the over has reached five of his six Jets losses this season. That’s still just six losses, with eight New York appearances behind the comparison.
The exception was Chicago: 119 yards on 15 attempts. His two wins also stayed below this line, at 215 against Tennessee and 182 against Cleveland. Those games make the practical distinction clear: this option asks for passing production, even if the Jets don’t win. A Kansas City win by itself doesn’t supply the throws or completions.
The actual over 216.5 was −112. A 230+ milestone at +120 also reached five of six Jets losses and five of eight appearances. It asks for 230 yards instead of the 217 needed to clear 216.5. The lighter target buys 13 yards of breathing room; the larger payout asks you to give it up. Five historical successes are too few to treat those choices as equivalent.
Garrett Wilson is out with a concussion, which changes the receiving group behind that history. Kansas City also has cornerback Mansoor Delane out and L’Jarius Sneed on injured reserve. Smith’s recent totals support the idea, but Wilson’s absence is a reason to think carefully about how you expect the Jets to move the ball.

Choosing your Chiefs parlay picks
Walker is the route if your Chiefs view starts with a productive lead back. Worthy asks for a smaller receiving contribution, with a real choice between paying for 15 yards and accepting 20. Smith suits a game in which Kansas City wins while New York still finds passing yards. Walker and Worthy share Kansas City’s offensive opportunities, so their separate records aren’t independent chances of success. You can use the contribution you believe in without taking all three; these records don’t price a combined parlay.
