Chiefs WR Kadarius Toney (hip) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Bengals. Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Rashee Rice, and Justin Watson operated as Kansas City’s top three WRs last week, with Richie James as the No. 4.
The Chiefs have ruled RB Jerick McKinnon (groin) and WR Kadarius Toney (hip) out for Monday's game against the Raiders. Toney's averaging 2.1 receptions and 13.0 receiving yards per game for the season and shouldn't have been in anyone's fantasy plans. McKinnon has scored in two straight games and three of the past four but remained a weak bet for touch volume. His absence can only help solidify returning RB Isiah Pacheco as a strong play this week.
Chiefs WR Kadarius Toney (ankle, hip) has been ruled out for Sunday's game vs. the Raiders. With WR Mecole Hardman (thumb) on IR, the Chiefs are down to five WRs: Rashee Rice, Justin Watson, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Skyy Moore, and Richie James. Rice remains the top fantasy option here but still ran a route on just 52% of pass plays coming off the bye last week. Watson led the way with a 66% route rate and 11 targets in that loss to the Eagles but would still be tough to trust in Week 12 fantasy lineups.
Chiefs WR Justin Watson dislocated his elbow in Thursday night's win over the Broncos, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. X-rays came back clean, but Watson is still scheduled for an MRI. "He's out a few weeks at least, and it could be longer based on the results of the scans," Rapoport adds. Watson has played 44% of Kansas City's offensive snaps and garnered 17 targets through six games, so his absence opens up a little opportunity for the other Chiefs WRs.
Chiefs WR Rashee Rice garnered 5 targets on only 10 routes run in Week 5. It’s eye-popping efficiency for the rising rookie, who tallied 4 grabs, 33 yards, and 1 score. Ahead of Rice, Chiefs WRs ranked as follows in routes: Marquez Valdes-Scantling (29), Justin Watson (23), Skyy Moore (23), Kadarius Toney (10). Rice also played only 20 snaps. So, the rookie will need to see the field more often to become a viable WR3/FLEX, but that’s the potential here – especially as bye weeks continue rolling in. Rice squares off with the Broncos on Thursday night.
Chiefs WR Kadarius Toney (toe) was limited in practice all week but isn’t listed on the final injury report. He’ll play vs. the Jets on Sunday night, but his role is completely unclear. Toney played just two snaps in last week’s win over the Bears.
Chiefs WR Kadarius Toney (toe) is active for today’s game vs. the Bears. He only got in a limited practice on Friday and would be a high-risk fantasy play.
Chiefs WR Kadarius Toney (toe) is expected to play vs. the Bears on Sunday, according to insider Jordan Schultz. "Toney, I’m told, worked out Saturday and quelled any concern the team may have had," Schultz adds. "The medical staff will take one more look in the morning, but Toney will be a go barring anything unexpected." Toney, of course, was already playing limited snaps before this new toe injury, so it's tough to imagine him in a big role tomorrow. He's not a recommended Week 3 fantasy starter.
Chiefs WR Kadarius Toney (toe) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Bears. He only got in a limited practice on Friday and would be a high-risk fantasy play if he ends up active for this one. WR Richie James (knee) has been ruled out.
Chiefs WR Kadarius Toney (toe) missed practice again on Thursday. We'll see how he's listed on the final injury report tomorrow, but he shouldn't be in your Week 3 fantasy plans.
Chiefs WR Kadarius Toney is dealing with a sprained toe and won't practice on Wednesday, HC Andy Reid said. It's always something with this guy. We'll monitor Toney's status leading up to Sunday's game vs. the Bears, but he shouldn't be in your Week 3 fantasy plans.
Chiefs WR Kadarius Toney picked up a left foot injury in Sunday's win over Jacksonville. HC Andy Reid indicated that it's a minor issue, but we'll check on Toney's practice participation this week. He rebounded from his Week 1 debacle with 5 catches (on 5 targets) for 35 yards. He ran only 15 routes, though -- seventh most on the team. Toney's limited role makes him a shaky fantasy starter going forward.
Chiefs WR Kadarius Toney had a nightmare opener vs. the Lions on Thursday night. He played just 16 snaps (25%) but managed to cost the Chiefs the game. Toney let a perfectly thrown pass clang off his hands and into S Brian Branch's for a 50-yard pick-six in the third quarter. Then Toney dropped a deep ball on Kansas City's final drive of the 21-20 loss. He earlier got the ball on a trick play from Detroit's two-yard line but was stopped at the one. We'll see how Toney rebounds from this ugly outing. He remains worth stashing on fantasy rosters but should not be in Week 2 starting lineups.
Chiefs TE Travis Kelce (knee) is officially inactive for tonight's opener vs. the Lions. That leaves Noah Gray as Kansas City's top TE. Chiefs WRs -- particularly Skyy Moore, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, and Kadarius Toney -- have more target potential with Kelce out.
Chiefs WR Kadarius Toney (knee) is not listed on the final injury report for Thursday night's opener vs. the Lions. He graduated to a full practice on Wednesday after being limited the previous two days. We'd still be surprised if Toney played a full slate of snaps tomorrow, so he's not a recommended Week 1 starter. We'll keep a close eye on his usage.
