Kansas City Chiefs Transactions

Tuesday, January 10

		The Kansas City Chiefs signed wide receiver John Ross to a Reserve/Futures deal on Monday, according to a source. The Chiefs now have the ninth and 10th picks from the 2017 NFL draft with their franchise in Ross and quarterback Patrick Mahomes. Ross did not play in the NFL at all during the 2022 season after missing the final four games of 2021 with a knee injury while with the New York Giants. The 27-year-old speedster has been unable to stay healthy for a full season in five NFL seasons, but the Chiefs will take a flier on him. In 37 career games (21 starts), Ross has piled up 62 receptions on 143 targets for 957 yards and 11 touchdowns for the Cincinnati Bengals and Giants.
		Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said an MRI exam on defensive end Frank Clark (groin) revealed a minor groin strain on Monday. "He should be able to return after a little bit of rest," Reid said of Clark. The Chiefs locked up the No. 1 seed in the AFC and a first-round bye in the playoffs with their win over the Las Vegas Raiders in the Week 18 regular season finale on Saturday, so Clark will have an extra week to rest and should be fine to play in the Divisional Round in two weeks. The 29-year-old pass-rusher is a key member of the Chiefs' underrated defensive line, so they'll be happy to get him back. In 15 starts in 2022, the three-time Pro Bowler had 39 tackles (25 solo), five sacks, eight tackles for loss, 13 QB hits, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery.

		Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Mecole Hardman (pelvis) is questionable for Saturday's contest versus the Las Vegas Raiders. The 24-year-old has 25 receptions for 297 yards and four touchdowns this season but hasn't played in over two months. The Chiefs won't have Skyy Moore (hand), so Hardman could get more involved during the NFC West showdown. However, if the wideout misses another one, Kadarius Toney, who had four catches for 71 yards in Week 17 against the Broncos, may continue to benefit. At the same time, Jerick McKinnon would likely continue to see an uptick on the receiving end. Of course, Travis Kelce will remain Patrick Mahomes' favorite target.
		Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker (back) is questionable to play on Saturday against the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders, so the Chiefs elevated kicker Matthew Wright from the practice squad to the active roster for the Week 18 regular season finale. Wright will be the fill-in kicker if Butker is deemed inactive for Saturday's game. Butker has only played in 12 games this year due to injury. He's normally a pretty safe fantasy option in KC's high-scoring offense, but fantasy managers playing for a championship this weekend may not want to take any chances, as the Chiefs could pull him early even if he's active on Saturday. Wright has kicked in six games this year, two with KC and four with the Steelers, going 15-for-18 on field goals and 15-for-15 on extra-point tries.
		Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Mecole Hardman (pelvis) was activated off of Injured Reserve earlier this week but will not suit up for the team's regular-season finale against the Las Vegas Raiders. Hardman was able to log limited practices on Thursday and Friday, signaling that he is nearing a return to action that should come at some point during the playoffs. With Skyy Moore (hand) also ruled out for Saturday's contest, JuJu Smith-Schuster, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, and Kadarius Toney should be expected to lead the way for the Chiefs' receiving corps.
		Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker (back) is officially active for Saturday's Week 18 regular season finale against the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders. Butker came into Saturday's game with a questionable tag, and the Chiefs even elevated Matthew Wright from the practice squad to the active roster just in case Butker couldn't go. The Chiefs need a win on Saturday to secure a first-round bye in the AFC playoffs, so Butker will be in play as a starting kicker for fantasy lineups in DFS and season-long leagues. In the last three weeks, the Raiders defense has been friendly to the kicking position in fantasy, allowing an average of 10 points, the third-highest mark in the NFL.

		Kansas City Chiefs rookie wide receiver Skyy Moore (hand) did not practice on Thursday and has been ruled out for the Week 18 regular season finale on Saturday against the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders. Moore's injured hand remains swollen and sore, so the Chiefs will take precaution and hold him out so that he's ready to go for the postseason. The 22-year-old second-rounder hasn't made much of an impact for fantasy managers in single-year leagues in his first 16 NFL games, as he's caught 22 of his 33 targets for 250 yards and no touchdowns. With Moore sidelined this weekend, look for receivers JuJu Smith-Schuster and Marquez Valdes-Scantling to see more targets, as well as tight end Travis Kelce. Kadarius Toney and Justin Watson will also have bigger roles.

Wednesday, January 04

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Skyy Moore (hand) exited Sunday's game with an injury and opened the week with a missed practice. He was seen holding his helmet, meaning he did not participate in any of the workouts or drills. The 22-year-old has had a quiet season catching three or fewer passes in all but two of his games while clearing 30 receiving yards just three times. Although he's likely not someone fantasy managers were relying on this week, his absence would open more opportunities for JuJu Smith-Schuster and Kadarius Toney, adding to their value. The team still has two more days of practice ahead of their contest on Saturday with the Raiders, giving Moore a chance to suit up.
		The Kansas City Chiefs activated wide receiver Mecole Hardman (abdomen) from Injured Reserve and listed him as a limited participant in practice on Wednesday. Hardman has not seen the field since Week 9 but seemingly has a shot to suit up for the team's regular-season finale against the Las Vegas Raiders. The fourth-year wideout put together a solid stretch of performances before his injury but will now have to compete with Kadarius Toney in addition to the team's other offensive weapons for opportunities down the stretch.

Monday, January 02

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		Kansas City Chiefs cornerback L'Jarius Sneed (hip), who left the Week 17 game against the division-rival Denver Broncos on Sunday, suffered a hip-pointer injury that is considered minor, according to a source. Sneed is considered day-to-day for now. The 25-year-old picked up the injury after intercepting quarterback Russell Wilson, but he later returned to the game. In his third NFL season, he has a career-high 104 tackles (73 solo), five tackles for loss, five QB hits, 3.5 sacks, three interceptions, 11 passes defensed, three forced fumbles and a fumble recovery in 16 starts, good enough for No. 2 overall in fantasy points among defensive backs in IDP leagues. It remains to be seen if the Chiefs will rest Sneed in the Week 18 regular season finale, but he should be good to go for the playoffs.

Sunday, January 01

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Skyy Moore (hand) finished Sunday's narrow win over the Seahawks by catching three of his four targets for 33 yards. Unfortunately, the rookie sustained a hand injury in the fourth quarter and did not return. Moore had high expectations entering his inaugural campaign. However, he's amassed only 19 catches for 217 yards while being held without a touchdown. Moore will likely undergo further testing to determine the extent of the injury. But considering his lack of production, there won't be many fantasy managers concerned about his status heading into the Week 18 meeting with the Las Vegas Raiders.
		Denver Broncos cornerback Damarri Mathis (head) did not return to Sunday's loss to the Chiefs after suffering a concussion. The rookie ranks second on the team with seven passes defensed while amassing 61 total tackles. He'll need to clear concussion protocol before he's eligible to suit up in Week 18 versus the Los Angeles Chargers. However, with the Broncos already eliminated from playoff contention, the team can be cautious with the No. 115 overall draft selection.

		Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Mecole Hardman (abdomen) will miss his eighth straight game, as head coach Andy Reid said he suffered a setback on Wednesday. Hardman got out to a hot start in 2022, scoring four touchdowns in the first eight games of the season. However, it's too late for him to make a fantasy impact, and it's unclear how his role will be affected by the addition of Kadarius Toney at this point in the season.

Thursday, December 29

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid expects wide receiver Mecole Hardman (abdomen) to return for the Week 17 contest versus the division-rival Denver Broncos. "Now it's a matter of getting him in the game. Unless there's setback, I expect him in there," Reid said. Hardman has three touchdowns in his last three games, but the problem is he hasn't played since Week 9. From Reid's comments, it sounds as though the Chiefs aren't expecting the 24-year-old to be a huge part of the offense in his return, but he should be out there on Sunday. The speedy Hardman will be yet another offensive weapon for quarterback Patrick Mahomes alongside JuJu Smith-Schuster, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Travis Kelce and Kadarius Toney.

		Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid didn't sound optimistic on wide receiver Mecole Hardman's (abdomen) status for Week 16 against the Seattle Seahawks on Saturday. "I'm not sure he's where he needs to be," Reid said. Meanwhile, Reid said he feels "pretty good" about tight end Blake Bell (hip) make his return this weekend from Injured Reserve. Hardman was designated to return from IR last week, but apparently the Chiefs still don't feel he's ready to return. They want the 24-year-old speedster to be fully healthy heading into the playoffs. Even if he were to return against Seattle, Hardman would likely be looking at a limited snap count, making him a very risky fantasy play. If he misses another game, JuJu Smith-Schuster and Marquez Valdes-Scantling will continue to operate as the top two receivers alongside All-Pro tight end Travis Kelce.

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said there's a good chance that wide receiver Mecole Hardman (abdomen) will be activated from Injured Reserve in time to play in Week 16 against the Seattle Seahawks on Saturday. If Hardman returns this weekend, it will be the first time that the Chiefs receiving corps has been whole in several weeks. The 24-year-old returned to practice last week and is looking to get back on the field on game day for the first time since Week 9. Before the injury, he scored a touchdown in three straight weeks and should eventually become a big part of the Chiefs offense again. However, if Hardman plays on Saturday, he'll be a risky flex play for fantasy managers still in the playoffs as he works his way back into the fold alongside JuJu Smith-Schuster, Marquez Valdes-Scantling and tight end Travis Kelce.

		Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Mecole Hardman (abdomen) isn't expected to suit up on Sunday against the Houston Texans. However, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the team is likely to have him back for the Week 16 meeting with Seattle. This season, the wideout has 25 catches for 297 yards and four touchdowns, with three occurring in his last three games before going down with an abdominal injury. It appears as if Kadarius Toney (hamstring) will play in Week 15, so he'll join JuJu Smith-Schuster and Travis Kelce as the preferred targets for Patrick Mahomes. Yet, once Hardman finally returns from his lengthy layoff, fantasy managers should consider him as a flex option, at minimum, in non-PPR formats.
		Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Kadarius Toney (hamstring) is expected to return on Sunday versus the Houston Texans, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. The wideout had six catches for 69 yards and a touchdown throughout his first three games in K.C. before being sidelined with a hamstring ailment. However, with Mecole Hardman (abdomen) not likely to return until Week 16 against the Seattle Seahawks, Toney could see some extra attention from Patrick Mahomes. Of course, JuJu Smith-Schuster and Travis Kelce will remain the preferred targets for the signal-caller, but Toney warrants consideration as a desperation option for managers in deeper fantasy setups.
		Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Kadarius Toney (hamstring) will suit up for the Week 15 matchup against the Houston Texans. The 23-year-old has six receptions for 69 yards and a touchdown through his first three games in KC. It's hard to imagine Toney having a huge role in this offense with JuJu Smith-Schuster and Travis Kelce being the primary targets in the receiving game. Toney does have some flex appeal, but in deep leagues where fantasy managers are desperate for a wide receiver.

Saturday, December 17

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Mecole Hardman (abdomen) is unlikely to be activated for Sunday's meeting with Houston. The wideout hasn't played in over a month because of an abdominal injury, so it appears his next chance to make it back will be for the Week 16 matchup against Seattle. With Kadarius Toney (hamstring) potentially out as well, JuJu Smith-Schuster and Travis Kelce should remain the preferred targets for Patrick Mahomes. Jerick McKinnon, who had seven receptions in the win over Denver, could also continue to benefit.
		Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Kadarius Toney (hamstring) is trending towards suiting up for the Week 15 matchup against the Houston Texans. This is good news since Toney has been sidelined since Week 11 due to a lingering hamstring injury. It sounds like the 23-year-old is making solid progress and feels good about suiting up this weekend. It's uncertain what kind of role he'll have behind JuJu Smith-Schuster and Marquez Valdes-Scantling. That being said, Toney is a fairly risky streaming option for Week 15.

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Kadarius Toney (hamstring) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice. He has now logged back-to-back limited sessions. The 23-year-old has missed the last three games due to a hamstring issue. Toney will have one more chance to log a full practice to increase his chances of suiting up Sunday against the Texans. The former New York Giant has eight catches for 69 yards and a touchdown over five games in 2022. Toney is mainly an option in deep-league formats and is considered a boom-or-bust flex against Houston's defense that ranks 18th versus opposing WR3/4s in 2022.
		Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Kadarius Toney (hamstring) is listed as questionable to play in Week 15 against the Houston Texans on Sunday. Toney continues to be bothered by a balky hamstring that has bothered him since earlier in the year when he was still playing for the New York Giants. The 23-year-old has only played in three games with the Chiefs and last saw the field in Week 11 before he aggravated his hamstring. Even if he's active this weekend against Houston, he figures to have a small role in the offense behind receivers JuJu Smith-Schuster and Marquez Valdes-Scantling. Mecole Hardman (abdomen) returned to practice this week and could be activated from Injured Reserve, which would be another obstacle for Toney once he does return to game action. In his three games with KC, Toney has six catches on eight targets for 69 yards and one TD.

		Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Kadarius Toney (hamstring) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice. He has missed the last three games due to a hamstring issue. The 23-year-old will have two more chances to log a full practice to increase his chances of playing Sunday against the Houston Texans. Toney has eight catches for 69 yards and a touchdown over five games in 2022. If active, Toney will compete with JuJu Smith-Schuster, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Skyy Moore, and Travis Kelce for targets in the Chiefs' passing game.

Wednesday, December 14

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Mecole Hardman (abdomen) was designated to return from Injured Reserve on Wednesday. The team has a 21-day practice window to move the veteran receiver to the active roster. The former Georgia Bulldog hasn't played since Week 9 because of the injury. However, Hardman was playing arguably the best football of his career before getting hurt. He has averaged 4.3 receptions, 56.5 receiving yards, and 16.2 half-point PPR fantasy points over his past four games. Furthermore, Hardman scored double-digit fantasy points in every contest. With Kararius Toney dealing with a hamstring injury, Hardman could earn meaningful snaps if he plays against the Houston Texans this week.

Saturday, December 10

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Kadarius Toney (hamstring) is out for the AFC West matchup with the Broncos. This will be the wideout's third consecutive absence, last seeing the field in Week 11 against the Los Angeles Chargers. Toney would have been considered a flex option for fantasy managers in deeper setups had he been available. However, now that he's out, JuJu Smith-Schuster, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Skyy Moore, and Travis Kelce will absorb the targets in Week 14.

Friday, December 09

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Kadarius Toney (hamstring) was listed as a limited practice participant for the second straight day on Thursday. Toney has missed the last two games with a hamstring injury that has plagued him since early in the year when he was with the New York Giants. The 23-year-old is making progress, though, and has a chance to return this Sunday to face the Denver Broncos. He'll have plenty of competition for targets in the passing game if he returns this weekend, although Toney did have four catches on five targets for 57 yards and a touchdown on just 44 percent of the offensive snaps in his last full game played in Week 10. Toney's upside in KC makes him worth stashing in deeper leagues, but he'll be a very risky boom/bust WR4/flex option if he returns to action against Denver.
		Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Kadarius Toney (hamstring) is officially listed as questionable to play in Week 14 against the division-rival Denver Broncos on Sunday. Toney has missed the last two games, but he was able to practice in a limited fashion all week and has a chance to return this weekend. The former first-rounder has heaps of upside but has struggled to stay healthy in his first two NFL seasons. Even if he's active this Sunday against Denver, it's hard to recommend him for a starting lineup spot in fantasy. The 23-year-old hasn't played more than 44 percent of the offensive snaps in his three games with the Chiefs.

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Kadarius Toney (hamstring) returned to practice on Wednesday. The second-year wide receiver suffered the hamstring injury in the Week 11 win over the Los Angeles Chargers. He then missed the Week 12 win against the Los Angeles Rams and last week's loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. Toney was playing well before getting hurt. He averaged three receptions on 3.5 targets for 34.5 receiving yards and 9.6 half-point PPR fantasy points in his first two games with the Chiefs this season. Once he is healthy, the former Florida Gator will have a chance to lock down a consistent role in the passing game alongside Travis Kelce and JuJu Smith-Schuster.
		Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes (foot) says he suffered a foot bruise on his final play in last week's loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. However, the superstar quarterback says he feels fine and the injury shouldn't impact him going forward. Anytime Mahomes' name and the word injury are in the same sentence, fantasy players' heart skips a beat. Thankfully, the foot injury isn't severe, and the superstar quarterback will be ready to play Sunday against the Denver Broncos. The former first-round pick is the QB2 for the year, averaging 25.1 fantasy points per game. Furthermore, Mahomes leads the NFL in passing yards (3,808) and passing touchdowns (30). If he missed time, it would be catastrophic for fantasy players.

Sunday, December 04

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		Kansas City Chiefs defensive end Frank Clark (illness) has been added to the injury report ahead of the Week 13 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals. The 29-year-old is reportedly dealing with an illness, so the team will likely wait and see how he feels closer to game time. Right now, the 29-year-old should be considered questionable for this game. Through nine games, Clark has 23 tackles and three sacks this season. The Chiefs defense would certainly take a hit if the three-time Pro Bowl pass rusher is forced to sit out.

Saturday, December 03

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Kadarius Toney (hamstring) has been ruled out for the Week 13 contest versus the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday. Toney aggravating a pre-existing hamstring injury in Week 11 and will miss his second straight game in Week 13. The 23-year-old should probably remain stashed in most fantasy leagues because of his upside in this high-octane Chiefs offense, but the former first-rounder can't seem to shake the injury bug early in his career. With the 23-year-old out again, JuJu Smith-Schuster and Marquez Valdes-Scantling should serve as the primary receivers alongside All-Pro tight end Travis Kelce. Justin Watson and rookie Skyy Moore will fight for the No. 3 receiving job.

Friday, December 02

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		Kansas City Chiefs running back Jerick McKinnon (hamstring) is expected to play against the Cincinnati Bengals, according to head coach Andy Reid. Rookie Isiah Pacheco has taken over the starting running back job in Kansas City, but McKinnon has deep-league flex value in PPR leagues. Clyde Edwards-Helaire (ankle) is out for at least another two weeks with an ankle injury, and it remains to be seen what impact Melvin Gordon III will have on this backfield after just signing to the practice squad this week.

Thursday, December 01

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		Kansas City Chiefs wide receivers JuJu Smith-Schuster (illness) and Kadarius Toney (hamstring) were absent from the team's practice on Wednesday. Smith-Schuster was able to play in Week 12 and should have plenty of time to get healthy for Sunday, but Toney's status is more of a mystery. Head coach Andy Reid labeled Toney as day-to-day, but the second-year wideout has dealt with hamstring issues all season and could be in danger of missing a second straight contest. Fantasy managers should keep a close eye on the status of both players heading into what could be a high-scoring duel with the Cincinnati Bengals.
		Kansas City Chiefs running back Jerick McKinnon (hamstring) did not participate in the team's practice on Wednesday. McKinnon, who has mostly been utilized as a pass-catching option, has not yet missed a game this season. Rookie Isiah Pacheco should continue to handle the majority of carries regardless of McKinnon's status, but recent signee Melvin Gordon could be elevated to Kansas City's active roster if the 30-year-old is unable to suit up this week. Although Pacheco is likely the only back worth starting on Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals, this could be a situation to monitor in PPR fantasy formats.
		Kansas City Chiefs running back Jerick McKinnon (hamstring) and wide receiver Kadarius Toney (hamstring) won't practice on Thursday. Neither player has practiced yet this week, leaving their availability in question for this weekend's game against the Cincinnati Bengals. Toney would be in line to miss his second straight game. If McKinnon is out, Ronald Jones would have his biggest role of the season as the backup to rookie Isiah Pacheco. The Chiefs signed Melvin Gordon III this week as well, but he'll probably need some more time to learn the playbook. Toney, a former first-rounder, continues to be hampered by injuries early in his career. If he misses another game, Justin Watson and rookie Skyy Moore will continue to see more opportunities behind JuJu Smith-Schuster and Marquez Valdes-Scantling.
		Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster (illness) returned to practice on Thursday after he missed Wednesday's session with an illness. Smith-Schuster should be just fine to suit up in Sunday's rematch of last year's AFC Championship game against the Cincinnati Bengals. The 26-year-old should be a fine target as a WR3/flex for fantasy managers, although he's disappointed in his last two games with only five receptions on seven targets for 71 scoreless yards. Cincy's defense has been more stingy against opposing receivers in the last three weeks, only allowing 22.3 half-PPR points to the position. If Smith-Schuster plays more than the 38 percent of the snaps he's seen in each of the last two weeks, he should have a fine game for fantasy managers.

Wednesday, November 30

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		Long-time former Baltimore Ravens defensive tackle Brandon Williams, who has been waiting for the right opportunity, signed with the Kansas City Chiefs practice squad on Tuesday with the idea of going to the active roster, according to sources. Williams will reunite with defensive line coach Joe Cullen. The 33-year-old nicknamed Big Baby will give the Chiefs some veteran defensive line depth in the trenches the rest of the way. Williams started 13 games for the Ravens last year and finished with 35 tackles (15 solo), four tackles for loss, three passes defensed and a fumble recovery. He was a Pro Bowler with Baltimore in 2018 and has 6.5 career sacks in nine NFL seasons, all with the Ravens.

Monday, November 28

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Kadarius Toney is being labeled day-to-day with his hamstring injury that has bothered him since early in the season when he was a member of the New York Giants. The second-year wideout has only appeared in four games this season after missing seven last year, so head coach Andy Reid is cautious with him. He has upside in the powerful Chiefs' offense, but expect the team to wait until he's close to 100 percent to put him back on the field. Skyy Moore and Justin Watson seem to benefit most from Toney and Mecole Hardman's absence.
		Two-time Pro Bowl running back Melvin Gordon III is expected to sign with the Kansas City Chiefs practice squad, according to a source. Gordon was released by the Denver Broncos last week, but he should be active soon and will give the Chiefs another weapon for the stretch run with Clyde Edwards-Helaire (ankle) on Injured Reserve. Gordon is no longer in his prime and has fumbling issues (five fumbles in 10 games this year), but he could be a weapon for the Chiefs' high-octane offense alongside rookie Isiah Pacheco and pass-catching back Jerick McKinnon to close out the 2022 season. The 29-year-old had 90 carries for 318 yards (3.5 yards per carry) and two touchdowns while adding 25 receptions on 32 targets for 223 yards in his 10 games with the Broncos this year. He'll be a waiver-wire stash in deeper leagues.

Friday, November 25

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster (concussion) will play against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 12. Smith-Schuster missed the game last week against the Los Angeles Chargers with a concussion but appears to be ready to go. The Rams have allowed the eighth-most fantasy points to wide receivers thus far, and since Kadarius Toney (hamstring) likely won't play and Mecole Hardman (abdomen) is on Injured Reserve, Smith-Schuster's upside is sky-high in his return. He and tight end Travis Kelce should be quarterback Patrick Mahomes' clear top targets moving forward.
		The Kansas City Chiefs ruled out wide receiver Kadarius Toney (hamstring) for the Week 12 game against the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday. Toney aggravated a hamstring injury in the Week 11 win over the Los Angeles Chargers and was unable to practice at all this week. Given the 23-year-old's extensive injury history early in his NFL career, it's fair to wonder when he'll make it back for the Chiefs. The former first-rounder has plenty of upside, especially in this Chiefs offense, so he's still worth stashing in the majority of fantasy leagues. The Chiefs will be getting JuJu Smith-Schuster (concussion) back this weekend, so he and Marquez Valdes-Scantling should be KC's top two receivers against the Rams, with Justin Watson and rookie Skyy Moore battling for No. 3 duties with Mecole Hardman (abdomen) on Injured Reserve.

Thursday, November 24

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster (concussion) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, while teammate Kadarius Toney (hamstring) missed Wednesday's session. Smith-Schuster missed the Week 11 win over the Chargers and will look to clear the concussion protocol within the next few days. The 26-year-old caught 46 passes for 615 yards and two touchdowns over nine games in 2022. Toney exited last Sunday's win over the Chargers early with a hamstring injury. The 23-year-old will have two more chances to practice ahead of Sunday's contest against the Rams. Toney is considered day-to-day.

Wednesday, November 23

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		Kansas City Chiefs running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire (ankle) was placed on Injured Reserve on Wednesday with a high-ankle sprain that he suffered in Sunday night's win over the Los Angeles Chargers. It means that Edwards-Helaire will miss at least the next four games for the Chiefs, which basically makes him droppable in single-year leagues. CEH's injury makes both rookie Isiah Pacheco and Jerick McKinnon more attractive in fantasy, while Ronald Jones will serve in a change-of-pace RB3 role for KC moving forward. Expect Pacheco to lead the Chiefs backfield now, with McKinnon being more of the third-down/pass-catching back. It has been another disappointing season for Edwards-Helaire, as he has just 71 carries for 302 yards (4.3 yards per carry) and three rushing TDs in 10 games played, adding 17 catches for 151 yards and three more scores.

Monday, November 21

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		Kansas City Chiefs running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire (ankle) is questionable to return against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 11. He exited the game in the first quarter after rushing two times for nine yards. Isiah Pacheco and Jerick McKinnon should have no trouble filling in for Edwards-Helaire during his absence.
		Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Kadarius Toney (hamstring) is questionable to return against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 11. It's a frustrating development for many fantasy managers who thought Toney could have a huge week amidst injuries to JuJu Smith-Schuster (concussion) and Mecole Hardman (abdomen). Now, with Toney added to the injury report, the Chiefs will have to rely on Travis Kelce, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, and Skyy Moore in the passing game.
		Kansas City Chiefs running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire (ankle) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday Night Football against the Los Angeles Chargers. He exited the game in the first quarter after rushing two times for nine yards. Isiah Pacheco and Jerick McKinnon should have no trouble filling in for Edwards-Helaire during his absence.
		Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Kadarius Toney exited Sunday night's game against the Chargers with a hamstring injury. He finished the game with no receptions. Toney was a popular waiver wire add since he was traded to KC, but it looks like his hamstring issues that plagued his time with the Giants have already popped back up. If he misses time, rookie Skyy Moore would get a boost in fantasy value.

Saturday, November 19

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		Kansas City Chiefs running back Jerick McKinnon (hamstring, shoulder) is off the injury report ahead of Sunday night's meeting with the Chargers. The 30-year-old has only 337 total yards and a touchdown in 2022-23. With JuJu Smith-Schuster (concussion) sidelined in Week 11, McKinnon may see an extra pass of two out of the backfield. However, he probably won't be involved enough to make a difference for fantasy managers, which has been the norm all season.
		Kansas City Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco (quadriceps) is off the injury report and will play on Sunday night against the Chargers. The rookie was dealing with a quad issue. However, he practiced in full all week, so his availability was never truly in question. Pacheco is coming off the best game of his young career, totaling 82 yards off 16 touches in the win over the Jaguars. While he hasn't had a touchdown since Week 1, his presence will lower Clyde Edwards-Helaire's ceiling in Week 11. With that said, Pacheco should be viewed as a flex option in deep fantasy setups.
		Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling (illness) will play in Week 11 versus the L.A. Chargers. The wideout was under the weather throughout the week but practiced in full on Friday. With JuJu Smith-Schuster (concussion) and Mecole Hardman (abdomen) out on Sunday night, Valdes-Scantling, who had three catches for 60 yards and a touchdown against the Jaguars in Week 10, could be a featured wideout for Patrick Mahomes.

		Kansas City Chiefs running back Jerick McKinnon (hamstring, shoulder) was limited in Thursday's practice. He has now logged back-to-back limited sessions. The 30-year-old will have one more chance to log a full practice before the team's injury report is released on Friday. He continues to be used as a change-of-pace back, rushing for 125 yards on 33 attempts while catching 25 passes for 212 yards and a touchdown over nine games in 2022. With a limited role, McKinnon is mainly a flex play in deep-league formats against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 11.
		Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster (concussion) has been ruled out for the Sunday Night Football contest against the Los Angeles Chargers. Smith-Schuster began to hit his stride in Weeks six through nine, racking up at least 88 receiving yards in all three games. However, he was knocked out of the game against the Jaguars and placed in concussion protocol and evidently hasn't recovered in time to play on Sunday night. Mecole Hardman (abdomen) has been placed on Injured Reserve, so expect Kadarius Toney and Marquez Valdes-Scantling to get the most targets lined up next to Travis Kelce.

		Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Mecole Hardman (abdomen) was unable to practice on Wednesday. JuJu Smith-Schuster (concussion) and Marquez Valdes-Scantling (illness) were also held out of practice, so the Chiefs top wideouts are all banged up heading into Sunday night's divisional clash against the Los Angeles Chargers. With that said, Kadarius Toney, Justin Watson and rookie Skyy Moore could all have elevated roles in Week 11, depending on who the Chiefs have available. Hardman missed the Week 10 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars and could be looking at his second straight absence. The 24-year-old was on a roll before his injury, catching 13 of 17 targets for 153 yards and three touchdowns while also rushing for two scores in his last three games.
		Kansas City Chiefs wide receivers JuJu Smith-Schuster (concussion) and Marquez Valdes-Scantling (illness) both missed practice on Wednesday. Mecole Hardman (abdomen) also missed practice, so KC's top wideouts are all questionable heading into a Sunday night showdown against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 11. It remains to be seen who will be available this weekend, but Kadarius Toney, Justin Watson and rookie Skyy Moore could all have elevated roles. Smith-Schuster, MVS and Hardman still have two days to get back on the practice field. With Hardman sidelined in the Week 10 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars, Valdes-Scantling finished second in receiving yards (60) and found the end zone. Toney also caught four passes for 57 yards and his first TD with the team.
		Kansas City Chiefs running back Jerick McKinnon (hamstring, shoulder) was limited Wednesday. He was limited in practice last with hamstring and shoulder issues but did suit up against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The 30-year-old had one rush for two yards and caught six of eight targets for 56 yards during Sunday's 27-17 win over Jacksonville. He continues to be used as a change of pace back, with 125 yards on 33 attempts while catching 25 passes for 212 yards and a touchdown over nine games in 2022. McKinnon is a borderline flex option against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 11.
		Kansas City Chiefs wide receivers JuJu Smith-Schuster (concussion) and Mecole Hardman (abdomen) will miss another practice on Thursday. Both players have a shot to practice on Friday, but right now they are looking very iffy for Sunday night's game against the Los Angeles Chargers. And with the game coming late Sunday night, both wideouts will be shaky starting fantasy options if they are game-time decisions. Marquez Valdes-Scantling (illness) was back at practice on Thursday, and he could be KC's No. 1 receiver in a potential shootout if both Smith-Schuster and Hardman are unable to play. Receivers Kadarius Toney, Justin Watson and rookie Skyy Moore would all have elevated roles as well. Check back on Friday for Smith-Schuster's and Hardman's official statuses.
		Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling (illness) will return to practice on Thursday after sitting out Wednesday's session. It's good news for the Chiefs, but wideouts JuJu Smith-Schuster (concussion) and Mecole Hardman (abdomen) haven't practiced this week, leaving them iffy for Sunday night's showdown against the Los Angeles Chargers. MVS had his first 100-yard game of the year in Week 7, caught just one pass for 12 yards in Week 9 and then went for 60 yards and his first touchdown of the year on three catches last week. He's been a volatile fantasy starter, but if both Smith-Schuster and Hardman are unable to play, Valdes-Scantling will basically become a must-start in KC's high-upside offense.
		The Kansas City Chiefs placed wide receiver Mecole Hardman (abdomen) on Injured Reserve on Thursday, meaning he'll miss at least the next four games. It's a tough break for Hardman and his fantasy managers, as he had scored five total touchdowns (three receiving, two rushing) in his previous three games before sitting out the Week 10 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. He's still worth stashing in all fantasy formats since he could return and help out in the fantasy playoffs. JuJu Smith-Schuster (concussion) is in danger of missing Sunday night's game against the Los Angeles Chargers, so Marquez Valdes-Scantling (illness) could serve as KC's WR1 alongside All-Pro tight end Travis Kelce. Receivers Kadarius Toney, Justin Watson and Skyy Moore will take on bigger roles if Smith-Schuster doesn't clear the concussion protocol.

		Kansas City Chiefs running back Jerick McKinnon (hamstring, knee, shoulder), who was listed as questionable, is active for the Week 10 game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. McKinnon will play and continue to be part of a frustrating three-headed committee backfield in Kansas City. The 30-year-old has seen just seven carries in the last three games, although he does have 11 receptions for 105 yards as well. Clyde-Edwards Helaire and Isiah Pacheco will continue to be involved, which will limit McKinnon's opportunities and make him a tough-to-trust RB3/flex in deep PPR leagues. McKinnon has 32 carries for 123 yards and no touchdowns on the ground and 19 receptions for 156 yards and one touchdown in eight games in 2022.
		Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster has entered the concussion protocol after taking a scary hit from Jacksonville Jaguars safety Andre Cisco. Smith-Schuster immediately went to the ground and required attention from the training staff. Teammates huddled around as he was tended to. Per NFL rules, since Smith-Schuster entered concussion protocol, he will not be able to return in Week 10. The 25-year-old finishes the day with two catches for 33 yards. Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Kadarius Toney will headline the Chiefs' wide receiver corps for the remainder of the contest.

		Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Mecole Hardman (abdomen) has been ruled out for Week 10 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Hardman missed practice all week due to abdominal soreness, and now he won't play in Week 10 after catching touchdown passes in each of the last three weeks. It's a tough blow for fantasy managers, but he'll obviously need to be moved to benches this weekend. With the 24-year-old out on Sunday, JuJu Smith-Schuster and Marquez Valdes-Scantling will benefit from more passing targets, while Kadarius Toney, rookie Skyy Moore and Justin Watson should also play more offensive snaps to pick up the slack.
		Kansas City Chiefs running back Jerick McKinnon (knee, shoulder) is listed as questionable for Week 10 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. McKinnon hasn't seen more than three carries in any of the last three games into what has evolved into a frustrating three-back committee in Kansas City, involving McKinnon, Clyde Edwards-Helaire and Isiah Pacheco. If McKinnon isn't cleared to play against Jacksonville on Sunday, Edwards-Helaire and Pacheco would see more snaps and touches. Receiver Mecole Hardman (abdomen) has been ruled out, so there will be more opportunities in an explosive Chiefs offense if McKinnon is out as well. McKinnon is really only relevant in PPR leagues as an RB3/flex when active.

		Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Mecole Hardman (abdomen) will not practice on Thursday due to abdominal soreness. Hardman also missed practice on Wednesday, so his availability is highly in question for the Week 10 game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The 24-year-old has scored a touchdown in three straight games, so it would be a frustrating development for fantasy managers if he were unable to play this weekend. Hardman will need to practice on Friday to have a shot at playing on Sunday. If he is unable to get cleared, JuJu Smith-Schuster, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Kadarius Toney, Justin Watson and Skyy Moore would all have bigger roles in the passing game.

		Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Mecole Hardman (abdominal) has been dealing with soreness the past few days, according to head coach Andy Reid. It sounds like the fourth-year wide receiver won't practice on Wednesday. The former second-round has played well lately, scoring three receiving touchdowns in the past three games. Furthermore, Hardman added a pair of rushing touchdowns during that span. If the fourth-year wide receiver misses time, Marquez Valdes-Scantling and newly acquired Kadarius Toney will see an uptick in snaps and targets. Hopefully, Hardman can return to practice later this week and play Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

		Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Kadarius Toney (hamstring) was considered fully healthy when he was traded from the New York Giants last week. As a result, as they come out of their bye, Toney will be active for his Chiefs debut. Toney produce 39 catches for 420 yards through 10 games as a rookie last season. He projects to compete with Marquez Valdes-Scantling, ranking as a high-end WR5 in fantasy football.

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said that wide receiver Kadarius Toney (hamstrings) "is healthy now." Toney dealt with injuries to both of his hamstrings while with the New York Giants this year and played in just two games, catching two of three targets for zero yards and rushing twice for 23 yards. "We'll see how he fits in," Reid said. "It will be a gradual process." The 23-year-old former first-rounder has all kinds of talent, but he's rarely been healthy in his first two years in the league. Combining his talent in KC's strong offense is intriguing, but Toney must get up to speed with the team's playbook and prove that he's actually healthy before fantasy managers in single-year leagues will really want him on their rosters. And once healthy, he'll have plenty of competition for targets among JuJu Smith-Schuster, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Mecole Hardman and tight end Travis Kelce, among others.

		The Kansas City Chiefs acquired wide receiver Kadarius Toney (hamstrings) from the New York Giants on Thursday in exchange for a conditional third-round pick and a sixth-rounder in 2023, according to a source. Toney, the Giants' first-round pick in 2021, was an absolute bust with the team, playing in a total of 12 games through seven weeks of this season due to various lower-body injuries. The 23-year-old has intriguing speed, quickness and after-the-catch ability, but he just hasn't been able to stay on the field early in his career. In two games with the G-Men earlier this year, he had just two catches for zero yards and two carries for 23 yards. His skill set could be absolutely dynamic paired with quarterback Patrick Mahomes if he can ever get healthy, but he could also struggle for targets in a receiving room that includes JuJu Smith-Schuster, Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Mecole Hardman. For now, Toney remains stash-worth only in extremely deep and dynasty formats.

		Kansas City Chiefs defensive end Frank Clark has been suspended by the league for two games for violating the NFL's personal-conduct policy, which stems from him pleading no contest to two misdemeanor charges from an incident in June of 2021 for possession of a concealed firearm. Kansas City is in the midst of their bye week, so Clark will miss Week 9 against the Tennessee Titans and Week 10 versus the Jacksonville Jaguars. The 29-year-old pass-rusher currently has 15 tackles (eight solo), three sacks, four tackles for loss and seven QB hits in seven games played in 2022. Without the three-time Pro Bowler, there will be more playing time for the likes of Carlos Dunlap, Joshua Kaindoh and Mike Danna off the edge.

		The Kansas City Chiefs restructured All-Pro tight end Travis Kelce's contract on Tuesday, converting his base salary into a signing bonus to clear $3.455 million in salary cap space, according to a source. Kelce had his second 100-yard game of the season in the Week 6 loss to the Buffalo Bills and he's scored seven times already in six games played. In half-point PPR scoring on Yahoo, he's the No. 1 fantasy tight end so far in the season. The 33-year-old went off for fantasy managers in Week 5 with four touchdowns, and he remains a must-start in all fantasy lineups as the best tight end in football. He'll be facing the San Francisco 49ers in Week 7.

		Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker (ankle) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday. He has been sidelined since spraining his ankle in Week 1 against the Arizona Cardinals. The 27-year-old is close to returning to action and will have two more days to log a full practice this week. Matthew Wright, who went made one of his two field goal attempts for 59 yards in Week 5, was reverted to the Chiefs practice squad on Monday. Butker is trending in the right direction and could return in Week 6 in a primetime matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs. If active, Butker is a strong option in a projected high-scoring affair against Kansas City.

		Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster (hamstring, quadriceps), who is listed as questionable to play on Monday night against the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders in Week 5, is expected to play, according to a source. Smith-Schuster suffered a hamstring injury on Saturday, leaving his availability in question for Monday's contest. However, he should be available to fantasy managers to close out Week 5 action. The 25-year-old has been the team's No. 2 receiver behind tight end Travis Kelce through the first four weeks of the season. Smith-Schuster has caught 19 of his 27 targets for 224 yards but has yet to find the end zone. He has exactly eight targets in three of his first four games in Kansas City.
		Las Vegas Raiders tight end Foster Moreau (knee) is officially inactive on Monday night against the Kansas City Chiefs after coming into the Week 5 contest listed as questionable. Darren Waller will continue to operate as the team's top pass-catching tight end, but he could see even more targets on Monday night with Moreau sidelined. Look for Jesper Horsted to serve as Waller's backup against KC. The Raiders have a bye in Week 6, so hopefully Moreau will be ready to return in Week 7. In three games played this year, he has just six receptions on eight targets for 74 yards and no touchdowns.
		Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster (hamstring, quadriceps) is officially active on Monday night against the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders. Smith-Schuster injured his hamstring in practice on Saturday, but there was never really much doubt that he would suit up in Week 5. The 25-year-old will continue to be one of quarterback Patrick Mahomes' top targets alongside tight end Travis Kelce, Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Mecole Hardman. In his first four games with the Chiefs so far this year, Smith-Schuster has 19 receptions for 224 yards, but he has yet to find the end zone. His fantasy managers will be hoping that changes on Monday night against the visiting Raiders.

		Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster (quad, hamstring) was limited in practice on Saturday. He is officially listed as questionable for Monday Night Football against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 5. The 25-year-old practiced in full on Thursday and Friday but had his hamstring tighten up on Saturday, thus leading to his limited participation. If active, Smith-Schuster ranks as a WR3 ahead of a very favorable matchup. If he can't play, Mecole Hardman, Skyy Moore, and Marquez Valdes-Scantling would be in line for additional volume.

		Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster (hamstring) was a full participant in practice on Thursday and Friday but had his hamstring tighten and was limited during Saturday's session. Head coach Andy Reid stated that he believes Smith-Schuster will suit up on Monday against the Las Vegas Raiders. Fantasy managers relying on Smith-Schuster may want to prepare a backup option for Monday Night Football just in case the 25-year-old experiences any setbacks. Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Skyy Moore, and Mecole Hardman may all be available on waivers and would be in line for additional opportunities if Smith-Schuster is surprisingly ruled out.
		Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker (ankle) was unable to practice this week and has subsequently been ruled out ahead of the team's Week 5 matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders. Butker has not taken the field since the season opener. Matt Ammendola replaced him initially, but after a shaky performance in Week 3, he was let go in favor of Matthew Wright, who drilled five extra-point attempts and two field goals last week. Fantasy managers seeking a solid replacement for Butker could take a shot on Wright this week in what should be a high-scoring divisional affair on Monday night.

		Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling (abdomen) plans to suit up for Sunday's meeting with Tampa. The 27-year-old missed Thursday's practice session while being limited during a few sessions throughout the week. Valdes-Scantling has caught 10 of his 18 targets for 105 yards in his first three games with the Chiefs. However, he has yet to find the end zone. Under normal circumstances, he would be considered a flex option at best. Yet, since there's a chance Valdes-Scantling won't be 100% despite his availability, fantasy managers may want to consider holding him out of this one.
		Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling (abdomen) is officially active on Sunday night versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The 27-year-old has 10 catches for 105 yards heading into this one. However, it's safe to say he hasn't lived up to expectations so far during his first season with the Chiefs. Still, he is a talented wideout and is capable of making things happen on the fantasy end. As a result, managers should at least consider him a risky flex option with upside in Week 4.

		Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling (abdomen) is listed as questionable on the team's final injury report ahead of a Week 4 matchup with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Valdes-Scantling was a limited participant in practice on Friday after being sidelined on Thursday. Although he hasn't produced much for fantasy yet this season, Valdes-Scantling is third on the Chiefs in targets and has played on over 70% of snaps in each of the first three weeks, so there would be a clear opportunity for other weapons to step up if MVS were to miss Sunday night's contest. JuJu Smith-Schuster, Mecole Hardman, Justin Watson, and rookie Skyy Moore could all see a bump in usage, with Smith-Schuster and Hardman being the most appealing flex options. Fantasy managers should check in on Valdes-Scantling's availability on Sunday before deciding to deploy any Kansas City wideouts in their starting lineups.
		Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Mecole Hardman (heel) was removed from the team's final injury report and will be active in Week 4 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Hardman missed practice on Wednesday but was a limited participant on both Thursday and Friday. He has been playing behind JuJu Smith-Schuster and Marquez Valdes-Scantling (abdomen) in regards to targets and snaps so far this season, but could have an opportunity this week with Valdes-Scantling questionable to play. Still, fantasy managers should not be considering Hardman in starting lineups unless pivoting from MVS in deeper leagues on Sunday night.
		Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker (ankle) was sidelined in Weeks 2 and 3 and will miss a third consecutive game with an ankle injury. Matt Ammendola replaced Butker for the past two weeks but was released after a loss to the Colts in which he missed a field goal and an extra point. The Chiefs elevated Matthew Wright from the practice squad on Saturday to start in a Sunday night showdown with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Wright most recently kicked for the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2021 where he converted on 21 of 24 field goal attempts. Despite the firepower of the Chiefs' offense, Wright is a dicey fantasy play this week against a Buccaneers defense that has allowed just nine points per game this season.

		Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling (abdomen) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice. He is dealing with an abdominal injury and could be limited in practice this week. The 27-year-old hauled in 10 catches for 105 yards over three games in 2022. He will have two more chances to log a full practice to suit up for Sunday Night Football against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. MVS is competing with JuJu Smith-Schuster, Mecole Hardman, and Skyy Moore for targets in the Chiefs' passing attack. Valdes-Scantling is a boom-or-bust flex option if active against the Bucs on Sunday night.
		Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Mecole Hardman (heel) did not practice Wednesday. He dealt with a heel issue in the Week 3 loss to the Indianapolis Colts but was removed from the injury report before last Sunday's game. The 24-year-old logged 43 snaps but saw his usage drop considerably. He caught two passes for two yards in Week 3 and has just seven catches for 67 yards and a touchdown over three games in 2022. The former second-round pick will have two more chances to practice ahead of Sunday Night Football against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Hardman is a boom-or-bust option, even if he is active for Week 4.
		Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker (ankle) was not able to suit up for Thursday's practice. Special teams coach Dave Toub mentioned that Butker continues to deal with soreness in his ankle. The Chiefs are optimistic that Butker will be able to play in Week 4 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. It sounds like Friday's practice could determine whether or not Butker plays this week. He'd be a nice streaming option for a kicker, but fantasy managers should have a backup plan ready.
		Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling (abdomen) did not take part in Thursday's practice. Valdes-Scantling was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday, so he's trending towards being questionable for the Week 4 game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday night. Through the first three weeks of the season, MVS is fourth on the team in receptions (10), third in targets (18) and fourth in receiving yards (105) and he's failed to find the end zone so far in his first year in KC. If he's truly questionable for the Sunday night game against the Bucs this weekend, it will be hard to recommend Valdes-Scantling as a flex option in deeper fantasy leagues. Check back on Friday for his official designation heading into Week 4.

		Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker (ankle) will partake in Wednesday's practice. Head coach Andy Reid said Butker will "get in some work today." The veteran kicker hasn't played since he suffered an ankle injury in the Week 1 win over the Arizona Cardinals. Butker rolled his ankle during a kickoff early in the game. While he was able to return later in the game and make a 54-yard field goal right before halftime, the veteran has missed the past two games because of the injury. On Monday, the Chiefs released backup kicker Matt Ammendola, a potential sign that Butker could return this week for the showdown against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

		Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker (ankle) is hopeful to be ready for the Week 4 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The organization is optimistic that Butker will be able to play this week. They've already released backup kicker Matt Ammendola, so all the signs are pointing to Butker being ready to play this week. Fantasy managers in need of a kicker should check the waiver wire and see if Butker is available. He should remain one of the better fantasy kickers in this high powered offense.

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker (ankle) has been ruled out for Week 3 against the Indianapolis Colts. Butker made his only field goal attempt and four extra points in Week 1 but has now been held out of action for two straight games. In his absence, Matt Ammendola will kick for the Chiefs again after making his debut with his new team in Week 2 against the Chargers. Ammendola made both of his field goal attempts and three extra points, so he looks like a reliable starting option for fantasy managers who will be without Butker.

		Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Mecole Hardman (heel) was limited during Wednesday's practice. The speedy wideout was forced to exit briefly during last Thursday's contest. However, Hardman was able to return for that contest and finished with three receptions for 49 yards. His absence would make Justin Watson and Skyy Moore more appealing fantasy options. Neither player has reliable value, but could be dart throws in DFS contests, assuming Hardman is unable to play in Week 3.

Monday, September 19

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said it will be a wait-and-see approach with kicker Harrison Butker's (ankle) status for Week 3 against the Indianapolis Colts. Butker continues to improve, but the Chiefs are non-committal on whether he'll play this week after he was inactive in last Thursday's win over the Los Angeles Chargers. Matt Ammendola filled in for Butker against the Bolts and made both of his field goals and all three of his extra-point tries in the victory. If Butker is forced to miss another contest, Ammendola will absolutely be on the streaming radar at the position in fantasy against a winless Colts squad.
		Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Willie Gay was suspended without pay for the next four games for a violation of the league's personal-conduct policy. Gay is eligible to return to the team's active roster on Monday, Oct. 17, following the team's Week 6 game against the Buffalo Bills. The 24-year-old was arrested in January on misdemeanor property damage charges, and his suspension will begin immediately, so he won't be available for the Week 3 game against the Indianapolis Colts. With Gay out for the next four games, Darius Harris is expected to start at weakside linebacker. In two starts this year, Gay had recorded 16 tackles (eight solo) and two passes defensed. He played 92 percent of the defensive snaps last Thursday against the Los Angeles Chargers.

		Kansas City Chiefs wide receivers Mecole Hardman (ankle) and Justin Watson (shoulder) both picked up injuries in Thursday night's 27-24 win over the Los Angeles Chargers. Hardman caught three of his four targets for 49 yards, while Watson caught both of his targets for 50 yards and his first touchdown since 2019. Hardman had his left ankle taped during the game and was seen limping in the second half, but he finished the game. The 24-year-old was tied for the second-most targets behind only tight end Travis Kelce. It's unclear when Watson picked up his shoulder injury. The good news for both players is that they'll have extra time to heal up before their Week 3 contest on Sept. 25 against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

		The Kansas City Chiefs placed first-round rookie cornerback Trent McDuffie (hamstring) on Injured Reserve on Tuesday. He'll now miss at least the next four games in his rookie season. Before getting injured in the season-opening blowout win over the Arizona Cardinals, the 22-year-old played 32 defensive snaps. The Chiefs will be looking for the likes of Jaylen Watson, Joshua Williams and Chris Lammons to step up with McDuffie sidelined for at least the next four weeks. KC's secondary could struggle a bit in a tough Week 2 matchup on Thursday night against the Los Angeles Chargers and their potent offense.
		Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker (ankle) will not play in Thursday night's matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers. The veteran kicker suffered an ankle injury early in the Chiefs' 44-21 Week 1 win over the Arizona Cardinals. While he did return in the second quarter and made a 54-yard field goal, Butker's injury kept him from practicing all week. Filling in for Butker will be former New York Jets kicker Matt Ammendola. Last year he made only 68.4% of his kicks, including only 25% from 40 or more yards away.
		Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes (wrist) was a full participant in practice this week and is off the injury report for Thursday night's matchup against the division-rival Los Angeles Chargers. There was little doubt about Mahomes' availability for this game. However, it is still encouraging for him to be off the injury report and not listed as questionable. Even if Mahomes remained on the injury report, fantasy managers should have been confident starting him as a high-end QB1 against the Chargers.
		Los Angeles cornerback J.C. Jackson (ankle) is questionable for Thursday night's game against the divisional-rival Kansas City Chiefs. The offseason addition didn't play in the Week 1 matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders. Without Jackson in the lineup, the Chargers couldn't slow down receiver Davante Adams. The veteran receiver had 10 receptions for 141 yards and a touchdown in his Raiders debut. If Jackson isn't able to play, Chiefs wideout JuJu Smith-Schuster becomes a more appealing flex option.

		The Kansas City Chiefs signed former New York Jets kicker Matt Ammendola to their practice squad on Monday. Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker injured his ankle during a Week 1 win over the Arizona Cardinals and his status is questionable for Week 2's Thursday night game against the Los Angeles Chargers. If Butker isn't ready to kick, Ammendola will be the team's kicker when they take on their division rivals. Fantasy managers rostering Butker will want to have an alternate option at the kicker position in case he can't go.
		Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker (ankle) didn't suit up for practice on Monday. The 27-year-old rolled his ankle during the opening kickoff on Sunday. That forced the Chiefs to lean on safety Justin Reid for kickoffs and two extra points. Luckily, Butker was able to return during the second quarter. Fantasy managers shouldn't be shocked if the Chiefs are cautious with Butker this week. They have a matchup on Thursday night football, so hopefully Butker can heal quickly. The fact he returned to Sunday's contest suggests that he'll be fine going forward.
		Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes (wrist) is a full-go for the team's Week 2 matchup with the Los Angeles Chargers on Thursday night, according to head coach Andy Reid. Mahomes fell on his wrist early on in the season opener but was able to stay in the game on his way to 360 passing yards and five touchdowns. This could be something that Mahomes will have to tolerate moving forward, but the good news is it isn't something that should have an impact on his performance. The former league MVP is an elite QB1 option for fantasy managers in Week 2 and should be started in all formats.
		Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker (ankle) is considered day-to-day with an ankle sprain, according to head coach Andy Reid. Butker headed to the locker room in the season opener, but later returned to the game and made a 54-yard field goal. As some insurance, the team signed former New York Jets kicker Matt Ammendola to the practice squad in case Butker can't play in Week 2. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on Butker's status and have a backup plan heading into Thursday night's game with the Los Angeles Chargers. If he is able to suit up, he is a solid starting option in what should be a high-scoring affair.

		Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Justin Watson exited the team's Week 1 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals with a chest injury. Watson saw one target before being carted off late in the game. The severity of the injury is currently unknown, but the Chiefs have a short week before facing off against the Los Angeles Chargers on Thursday night. Watson impressed in the preseason but isn't expected to make a fantasy impact in a Chiefs offense loaded with receiving options. Still, his availability will be worth monitoring as we could see more opportunities for Skyy Moore if Watson misses Week 2.
		Kansas City Chiefs superstar quarterback Patrick Mahomes suffered an apparent wrist injury after falling on it during the team's Week 1 victory over the Arizona Cardinals. Head coach Andy Reid said that tests would be done, but Mahomes himself said that the injury occurred after his first of five touchdown passes, so it didn't seem to hold him back in the slightest. He also added that the wrist is sore but that "everything looked good" on initial X-rays. On a short week before facing the Los Angeles Chargers on Thursday night, the Chiefs could take extra precautions with Mahomes in practice, but all signs point to the former MVP suiting up for Week 2.

		Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Daurice Fountain has been elevated to the active roster ahead of the Week 1 clash against Arizona. The team is set at the position. However, if Fountain plays, he should spend most of his time on special teams, making him irrelevant for fantasy purposes.
		Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker (ankle) suffered an ankle injury early in the Week 1 matchup versus Arizona. He had to be carted off the field. Fortunately, he came back to the field and was seen standing on the sidelines. However, Butker has been ruled out for the rest of the game, leaving Andy Reid no choice but to have safety Justin Reid take over the kicking duties.
		Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker (ankle) returned to Sunday's season-opener against the Arizona Cardinals. The veteran had to be carted off the field early in the contest, making it appear he was done for the game. However, Butker made his way back and drained a 54-yard boot before the end of the first half. Nonetheless, barring a setback, it appears he'll be good to go for the Thursday night matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers. Still, fantasy managers should look for a replacement in case Butker can't suit up due to the short turnaround.

		Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster (knee) said his knee is fully healed and he's 100 percent healthy heading into Week 1 of the regular season against the Arizona Cardinals this Sunday. Smith-Schuster was limited a bit in training camp and the preseason with knee soreness, but he's good to go now and will be a key weapon for quarterback Patrick Mahomes after the team traded All-Pro receiver Tyreek Hill to Miami in the offseason. The Chiefs are expected to spread things around on offense, though, so fantasy managers will be curious to see how much Smith-Schuster is involved this week in a game that could very well be high-scoring. The 25-year-old is a WR3/flex with upside in his first game for the Chiefs.

		The Kansas City Chiefs released wide receiver Josh Gordon on Tuesday, according to a source. Gordon showed great character on the field and in the community since he arrived in Kansas City, and the team is open to him returning, but he's currently the odd-man out. The 31-year-old veteran caught just five passes on 14 targets for 32 yards and one touchdown in 12 regular season games (seven starts) last year with the Chiefs. Even with Tyreek Hill now in Miami, Gordon was unable to separate himself in the receiver competition. KC's top wideouts entering Week 1 against the Arizona Cardinals are expected to be JuJu Smith-Schuster, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Mecole Hardman and rookie Skyy Moore.

		Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling (concussion) said he will be ready for Week 1 of the regular season against the Arizona Cardinals. Valdes-Scantling said he has cleared the league's concussion protocols and was able to practice on Sunday. The 27-year-old missed the team's preseason finale last Thursday against the Green Bay Packers, but fantasy managers will have him available to begin the regular season. MVS is fully expected to start for the Chiefs in three-wide sets in his first year in KC next to JuJu Smith-Schuster and Mecole Hardman, and if he stays healthy, he could have a very nice season for the Chiefs. He was never much of a factor in his four seasons with the Packers, though, but he has averaged a healthy 17.5 yards per catch in his time in the NFL. Consider him a WR4/5 in your upcoming fantasy drafts with upside for more.
		Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster (knee) was spotted practicing with the team on Monday. Smith-Schuster missed the team's preseason finale last Thursday against the Green Bay Packers, but he's fully expected to be ready for Week 1 of the regular season against the Arizona Cardinals after being held out recently due to knee soreness. A shoulder injury limited the 25-year-old to just five games in his final year with the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2021, but Smith-Schuster could be the Chiefs top wide receiver this year if he can stay healthy. If he can stay healthy, Smith-Schuster could be a steal at his WR3/flex price in fantasy drafts.

		Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster (knee) was out on the field catching passes from quarterback Patrick Mahomes on Thursday before the team's preseason finale, which is the first time he's been on the field since early last week. The Chiefs are expecting the 25-year-old to be ready for the Week 1 regular season opener against the Arizona Cardinals despite dealing with knee soreness since Aug. 15. Injuries have become a bit of a concern for him after he played in just five games for the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2021 due to a shoulder injury that required surgery. But when healthy, Smith-Schuster should be one of Mahomes' top targets in a passing game now without Tyreek Hill. Consider him a WR3 with upside in 2022.
		Kansas City Chiefs cornerback Trent McDuffie (concussion) was injured during Thursday's preseason game against the Green Bay Packers. The 21-year-old hit his head early in the contest and was evaluated for a head injury, eventually landing in concussion protocol. McDuffie was selected in the first round, No. 21 overall in the 2022 NFL Draft and is forecasted to line up opposite L'Jarius Sneed on the defensive end this year. Nevertheless, with some time before the regular season begins, McDuffie could be cleared before the Week 1 matchup versus the Arizona Cardinals.
		Kansas City Chiefs tight end Matt Bushman (shoulder) left Thursday's preseason matchup against the Green Bay Packers. The 26-year-old was on a roll before the injury, catching three balls for 73 yards and two touchdowns. Bushman, who is currently buried on the depth chart, isn't a lock to make the regular season roster. However, after his strong performance, anything is possible, assuming the shoulder injury isn't severe.
		The Chiefs waived running back Derrick Gore (thumb) with an injury settlement on Thursday. The 27-year-old fractured his thumb during a preseason matchup versus Washington and was subsequently placed on the injured reserve list. Assuming he clears waivers and enters free agency, there's a chance he could rejoin the roster once healthy. Gore, who had 256 yards and two touchdowns off 51 carries (11 games) last season as a rookie, should draw interest from at least a few clubs. Yet, his fantasy appeal in any format outside of dynasty leagues is currently non-existent. However, he may pop up this year as a streaming option if he's fortunate enough to find work.
		Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling (concussion) didn't play during Thursday's preseason finale versus the Green Bay Packers. The 27-year-old is currently in concussion protocol. While the details regarding how he ended up in this position are vague, it may not keep him off the field for Week 1. After Valdes-Scantling suited up for the Packers throughout the first four years of his career, he has a chance to be the top-producing wideout for his new team. However, if he misses time, it wouldn't be ideal for those who already drafted him. Nevertheless, an absence from the veteran for the season opener against Arizona would mean Travis Kelce, Mecole Hardman, and Skyy Moore would be the favorites to see more attention from Patrick Mahomes. The same can be said for JuJu Smith-Schuster (knee), assuming he's healthy to begin the year.

		It was announced Tuesday that Kansas City Chiefs tight end Blake Bell (hip) had undergone surgery to repair a hip flexor issue, which will keep him sidelined for an extended period of time. Bell was set to serve as the complement at tight end for All-Pro Travis Kelce, but that role will likely slide to Noah Gray after a waiver claim on Kendall Blanton went for naught. Bell appeared in 16 games (five starts) last season for K.C., compiling nine catches for 87 yards and adding 10 yards on the ground. Utilized primarily for his blocking ability, the 31-year-old wasn't on any fantasy radars coming into the year. The Chiefs open the regular season on Sept. 11 against the Cardinals.
		Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said that wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster (knee) has "turned the corner" and should be fine for the regular season opener in Week 1 against the Arizona Cardinals. Smith-Schuster's sore knee occurred the Monday after the first preseason game, and he hasn't practiced in training camp since. Reid isn't worried about the 25-year-old pass-catcher, so fantasy managers shouldn't be either. Smith-Schuster won't play in the preseason finale this Thursday. In his first year in KC, he should be a big part of the team's passing attack, although quarterback Patrick Mahomes is expected to spread the ball around to Travis Kelce, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Mecole Hardman and rookie Skyy Moore. Smith-Schuster is a WR3 in fantasy with considerable upside if he can stay healthy.

		Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster (knee) was unable to suit up for practice Monday, although he remains expected to return to the field later this week. Smith-Schuster is set to embark on his first season in Kansas City after inking a one-year deal in the offseason. Following the departure of Tyreek Hill, Smith-Schuster is expected to take on an even larger role in the explosive Chiefs offense, which gives the organization little reason to rush the 25-year-old back with over two weeks remaining before the regular season opener. Fellow newcomer Marquez Valdes-Scantling and longtime contributor Mecole Hardman will take on elevated roles in the passing game if Smith-Schuster were forced to miss anytime. K.C.'s preseason finale comes Thursday vs. Green Bay.
		Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Mecole Hardman (groin) was back on the practice field Monday after sitting out Saturday's preseason win over Washington. The Chiefs have played it slow with ramping Hardman up, although his presence at practice is a solid indication he could be on the field Thursday against the Packers in the team's preseason finale. With the departure of Tyreek Hill, Hardman is in line to play a much larger part of Kansas City's vertical attack this season; the 24-year-old has amassed at least 500 yards in each of his first three seasons and has seen his receptions total climb steadily. Hardman currently sits on the fence as a WR3/FLEX option in many traditional fantasy formats, but his presence in the Chiefs' offense with Patrick Mahomes under center stands to give him a solid boost.

		Kansas City Chiefs wide receivers JuJu Smith-Schuster (knee) and Mecole Hardman (groin) were both absent from warmup on Saturday, eventually missing the preseason matchup against Washington. Smith-Schuster is anticipated to return next week, so missing Saturday's game is still in line with that timeline. Hardman had a more optimistic outlook entering the weekend. However, it appears he'll need some additional time before he is ready to return to the field. Smith-Schuster is the favorite to lead this receiving corps, which includes Marquez Valdes-Scantling and rookie Skyy Moore. On the other hand, Hardman already has a rapport with quarterback Patrick Mahomes, and since he has a skill set similar to Tyreek Hill, he has a chance to benefit immensely. Smith-Schuster may be a top-30 fantasy option, assuming he remains the No. 1 wideout on the depth chart. As far as Hardman, he is expected to have some inconsistent weeks throughout the year. Yet, he could be in store for his best season to date, especially with Hill now with the Miami Dolphins.

		According to Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid, there's a good chance that wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster (knee) returns to training camp practice next week. Smith-Schuster will be held out of the team's second preseason game this Saturday against the Washington Commanders, but barring any setbacks, he should be good to go for Week 1 of the regular season. The 25-year-old played in only five games in his final season with the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2021 due to a shoulder injury, but he's past the shoulder issue and is in line for a substantial role as one of quarterback Patrick Mahomes' primary targets in his first year in KC. However, Mahomes is expected to spread the ball around in the offense, making Smith-Schuster more of a WR3 with upside in fantasy drafts.

		Updating a previous report, Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Mecole Hardman (groin) is being evaluated for a groin injury after leaving training camp practice on Wednesday on a cart, according to a source. The severity of the injury is unclear, but it was a good sign that Hardman was able to walk off the field before jumping on a cart to head to the locker room. There's a pretty good chance he won't be available for the team's second preseason game this week, but it remains to be seen if this injury will put him in danger of missing Week 1. Hardman will have a bigger role in KC's offense in 2022 with Tyreek Hill now gone, but an extended absence will open up more targets for JuJu Smith-Schuster, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, rookie Skyy Moore and Josh Gordon.
		Kansas City Chiefs running back Jerick McKinnon (hamstring) missed training camp practice on Wednesday with a strained hamstring. It remains to be seen if McKinnon will be able to suit up for the team's second preseason game this Saturday against the Washington Commanders. With McKinnon currently sidelined, rookie Isiah Pacheco and Ronald Jones will see more work behind starter Clyde Edwards-Helaire in camp. McKinnon is currently listed as the No. 2 behind Edwards-Helaire on the Chiefs' depth chart, but Pacheco has been very impressive this summer and might have earned himself a role behind CEH early in the year. In his first year in KC in 2021, McKinnon only had 12 carries for 62 yards and caught 13 passes for 107 yards and one touchdown in 13 regular season games.
