Kansas City Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy (quadriceps) fully participated in practice Wednesday, Sept. 18.
Huddle Up: Worthy had a terrific Week 1 performance but was held to only 22 total yards last week. He should see a handful of touches if he is active for Week 3, but fantasy players in most leagues probably have better options available.

Updating previous reports, Kansas City Chiefs RB Isiah Pacheco (leg) is scheduled to undergo surgery Wednesday, Sept. 18, to repair his fractured fibula. Head coach Andy Reid said he does not have a timetable for Pacheco's return.
Huddle Up: Pacheco probably will have a chance to return to the lineup at some point during the second half of the season, so fantasy players should look to stash him on their bench if they can. Carson Steele likely will receive a majority of the snaps at running back for the time being and can be at least a flex option in most leagues.

Updating an earlier report, Kansas City Chiefs RB Isiah Pacheco (leg) will be placed on the Reserve/Injured list and miss a minimum of four weeks.
Huddle Up: It's safe to say he's going to miss more than that - potentially much more. Samaje Perine and Carson Steele need to be rostered, and they will both be flex candidates in PPR leagues.

Kansas City Chiefs TE Travis Kelce hauled in one of his three targets for five yards in Week 3 against the Cincinnati Bengals. Kelce also added one yard rushing.
Huddle Up: The one-catch effort ended a regular-season streak of Kelce registering at least three catches in every game dating back over six years ago. It is almost inconceivable how little Kelce has been involved through two games (four catches on seven targets for 39 scoreless yards) considering how dominant he was in Kansas City's four playoff games last season (32 catches for 355 yards and three touchdowns). Given how little tight ends around the league are producing, fantasy managers have little choice but to hope Patrick Mahomes will be more diligent in trying to find his (former?) favorite target in the coming weeks.

Kansas City Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy caught two of his four targets for 17 yards and added a five-yard carry in Week 2 versus the Cincinnati Bengals.
Huddle Up: This game was a dose of reality for enthusiastic fantasy managers of Worthy, who saw him score a pair of touchdowns on three touches in Week 1. The reality is that managers got to experience his ceiling and floor in consecutive weeks. With Marquise Brown (chest) done for the year, Worthy should remain a full-time player with great upside in a very good offense, which should keep him in the WR3 conversation all season long.

Kansas City Chiefs WR Rashee Rice hauled in five of his six targets for 75 yards and a touchdown in Week 2 against the Cincinnati Bengals.
Huddle Up: Rice did the bulk of his damage on a perfectly thrown 44-yard touchdown strike from Patrick Mahomes midway to the second quarter. The second-year wideout has been everything his fantasy managers could have hoped for through two weeks, topping 100 yards receiving in the opener and scoring a touchdown in this one. Rice will have a tough matchup in Week 3 - he figures to see a lot of A.J. Terrell - but he should remain in lineups regardless.

Kansas City Chiefs RB Carson Steele rushed seven times for 24 yards in Week 2 versus the Cincinnati Bengals.
Huddle Up: Steele has emerged as an occasional short-yardage option through two weeks, although he did not help his cause in this one by losing a fumble. Still, the Chiefs do not hesitate to give him the ball again later in the game. Steele might be worth an add in fantasy this week depending on the status of Isiah Pacheco, who was on crutches and in a walking boot after the game. If Pacheco is sidelined for Week 3 versus the Atlanta Falcons, Steele could have flex value in larger leagues.

Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes finished 18-of-25 for 151 yards and two touchdowns with two interceptions in Week 2 against the Cincinnati Bengals. Mahomes also rushed for 29 yards on four carries.
Huddle Up: The 151 yards are the fewest Mahomes has thrown for in any game he started and finished. The first two games are not what fantasy managers have become accustomed to with Mahomes, but the Baltimore Ravens (Week 1) have a good defense and the Bengals have typically played him tough under defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo. Week 3 does not figure to be an easy game either versus the Atlanta Falcons, but few quarterbacks can overcome a difficult matchup like Mahomes.

Kansas City Chiefs WR Marquise Brown (shoulder) is not expected to play for the remainder of the 2024 season, per sources on Saturday, Sept. 14.
Huddle Up: Brown suffered the injury catching a pass in preseason Week 1. There remains a chance he could be back for the NFL postseason, but that does fantasy owners no good. He can be dropped in redraft leagues.

Kansas City Chiefs WR Marquise Brown (shoulder) was placed on the Reserve/Injured list Friday, Sept. 13.
Huddle Up: Brown is expected to miss an extended period of time because of the injury and probably can be dropped in fantasy leagues. Xavier Worthy is coming off a terrific Week 1 performance and should have a good role in the offense with Brown sidelined. Worthy could be a flex option in fantasy leagues.

Kansas City Chiefs WR Marquise Brown (shoulder) is not practicing Thursday, Sept. 12.
Huddle Up: It seems Brown is trending toward missing another game so managers will need to prepare for a pivot option in Week 2.

Kansas City Chiefs WR Marquise Brown (shoulder) will not participate in practice Wednesday, Sept. 11, according to head coach Andy Reid.
Huddle Up: There was some optimism that Brown would be able to play in Week 2, but he is not off to a good start after sitting Wednesday. Fantasy players will know about his status later in the week but may want to consider other options for their lineups this week.

Kansas City Chiefs WR Marquise Brown (shoulder) is heading in the right direction in his recovery and has a chance to play in Week 2, head coach Andy Reid said on Monday, Sept. 9.
Huddle Up: Even if he plays, the Chiefs might ease Brown in and not give him a full complement of snaps. Adding to that, he has to compete for targets with Rashee Rice, Xavier Worthy, Travis Kelce and others. Brown is best left on the bench until we see him produce.

Kansas City Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy caught two passes for 47 yards and a touchdown in a Week 1 win over the Baltimore Ravens. Worthy also ran the ball once for 21-yard touchdown.
Huddle Up: Three touches, two touchdowns. Not bad. While the receiving score was the result of a busted coverage, his speed was obvious. We'll see how quickly he grasps the nuances of the offense, but he's a threat to take it to the house every time he touches the ball. That affords him weekly value. How reliable that value is will be determined in the coming weeks as we see often he gets the ball.

Kansas City Chiefs WR Rashee Rice caught seven passes for a team-leading 103 yards in Week 1 versus the Baltimore Ravens. He was targeted nine times.
Huddle Up: The NFL chose not to put Rice on the Commissioner's Exempt list or hand down a suspension, so the second-year wideout functioned as Patrick Mahomes' top target on Thursday night. He fell down draft boards because the assumption was he'd be suspended. Now, it's impossible to say when or if he'll be suspended this season. At this point, however, it doesn't matter. If he's on your team, he belongs in your lineup.

Kansas City Chiefs WR Marquise Brown (shoulder) is expected to return to practice next week and may be available for the Week 2 game.
Huddle Up: Fantasy players will need to monitor the situation next week to see if Brown will be able to play. He should have a decent role in the passing game once he is cleared to play and could be at least a flex option in some fantasy leagues.

Kansas City Chiefs WR Marquise Brown (shoulder) did not practice once again on Wednesday, Sept. 4, and has officially been ruled out for Week 1.
Huddle Up: Now, the attention turns to Week 2 to see if Brown will make his debut. The fact that the Chiefs didn't put him on injured reserve means they expect him back by or before Week 4. Rashee Rice receives a slight bump and is a WR2, but it's hard to trust any other Chiefs receivers.

Kansas City Chiefs WR Marquise Brown (shoulder) did not participate in practice Monday, Sept. 2.
Huddle Up: Brown is expected to miss the regular season opener but appears to have a chance to play in Week 2. Rashee Rice and Travis Kelce are probably the only Chiefs pass catchers that should be starting options this week.

Kansas City Chiefs RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire (personal) was placed on the reserve/non-football illness list Monday, Sept. 2, and he'll miss at least the first four games.
Huddle Up: That means Samaje Perine should be handcuffed to Isiah Pacheco. CEH could have value later in the season, but he's not worth stashing at this point.

Posted 9/02/2024 2:37 pm GMT
Kansas City Chiefs RB Samaje Perine is expected to play in the season opener, according to head coach Andy Reid.
Huddle Up: He'll likely play second fiddle to Isiah Pacheco in the backfield as Clyde Edwards-Helaire is dealing with some personal stuff. Perine really shouldn't be in your lineups. His main value is to Pacheco owners for now.

Updating previous reports, Kansas City Chiefs WR Marquise Brown (shoulder) could return in Week 2.
Huddle Up: Brown suffered a sprained SC joint in his shoulder early in the preseason, and he's right around the four-week mark. He'll be a flex candidate upon his return.

Kansas City Chiefs RB Carson Steele "finished training camp and the preseason as the leading backup" to RB Isiah Pacheco, according to Adam Teicher of ESPN.com.
Huddle Up: Steele showcased the ability to do a bit of everything during the preseason, and while Pacheco has emerged as a workhorse, Steele appears to be a worthwhile handcuff.

Kansas City Chiefs RB Samaje Perine and WR JuJu Smith-Schuster "absolutely" could play in Week 1's game against the Baltimore Ravens, according to head coach Andy Reid.
Huddle Up: Even if they are declared active, neither Perine nor Smith-Schuster is likely to have much fantasy impact in any format, unless the Chiefs sustain a slew of injuries at offensive skill positions.

Kansas City Chiefs WR Marquise Brown (shoulder) is not expected to play in Week 1 against the Baltimore Ravens, according to head coach Andy Reid.
Huddle Up: Brown was expected to miss four to six weeks with the sternoclavicular dislocation he suffered in the first preseason game, so Week 2 or Week 3 was always the most likely outcome for him to return. It could take Brown a little time to work himself back into decent shape, but he should be ready to start contributing to fantasy lineups in Week 4 or Week 5 if he does not have a setback.
