Kansas City Chiefs WR JuJu Smith-Schuster (hamstring) fully participated in practice Friday, Nov. 22, and is not on the injury report for Week 12.
Huddle Up: Smith-Schuster has had one big game this season but has been held to under 20 yards in six of his seven games this season. Fantasy players should have better options available and can avoid Smith-Schuster.

Kansas City Chiefs RB Kareem Hunt (knee) practiced in full on Friday, Nov. 22, and was removed from the Week 12 injury report.
Huddle Up: With Isiah Pacheco (ankle, IR) ruled out again this week, Hunt will have at least one more game with a heavy workload. He's an RB1 in a matchup against the Carolina Panthers' putrid defense.

Kansas City Chiefs RB Isiah Pacheco (ankle) was limited in practice all week but has been ruled out for Week 12 against the Carolina Panthers.
Huddle Up: Fantasy managers will get one more workhorse week out of the highly inefficient Kareem Hunt against arguably the juiciest matchup for running backs. It should be noted that head coach Andy Reid told reporters on Friday that Pacheco is healthy enough to play but was advised by trainers and fellow coaches to give the Week 1 starter a few more days before activating him. It now appears Pacheco will make his return on Black Friday in Week 13 against the Las Vegas Raiders.

Kansas City Chiefs RB Kareem Hunt (knee) practiced in full for the second consecutive day on Thursday, Nov. 21.
Huddle Up: The only concern for Hunt moving forward is the return of Isiah Pacheco, who remains on the designated to return from injured reserve list. However, even if Pacheco does suit up this week, he doesn't figure to be much of a threat to Hunt's workload, as he'll likely be eased back in for his first game back. Hunt is an RB1 play in a Week 12 matchup against the Carolina Panthers' putrid defense.

Kansas City Chiefs WR JuJu Smith-Schuster (hamstring) fully participated in practice Wednesday, Nov. 20.
Huddle Up: Smith-Schuster returned to the lineup last week but was only targeted once in the game and finished with eight yards. He probably will receive a few more targets this week and could be a possible flex option in some leagues.

Kansas City Chiefs RB Kareem Hunt (knee) fully participated in practice Wednesday, Nov. 20.
Huddle Up: Hunt has received at least 14 carries in all seven of his games this season and is coming off a decent Week 11 performance. He likely will receive a majority of the carries again this week and can be at least a flex option in leagues.

Kansas City Chiefs RB Isiah Pacheco (ankle) was limited during practice Wednesday, Nov. 20.
Huddle Up: Pacheco is considered day-to-day, so his status for Week 12 is uncertain at this point. He may be eased back into the lineup once he is cleared to play since he has missed extended time and may not be a starting fantasy option right away.

Kansas City Chiefs WR JuJu Smith-Schuster hauled in his only target for eight yards in Week 11 against the Buffalo Bills.
Huddle Up: It was just over a month ago when it seemed Smith-Schuster was going to be a league-winner after putting up seven catches for 130 yards against the New Orleans Saints. He suffered a hamstring injury shortly thereafter and the team traded for DeAndre Hopkins, which pushed him behind the former Tennessee Titan and Travis Kelce in the passing game pecking order. Smith-Schuster can be dropped in most of the leagues that managers were hoping he could return to some version of his previous role.

Kansas City Chiefs TE Noah Gray caught four of his five targets for 23 yards and two touchdowns in a 30-21 loss to the Buffalo Bills in Week 11.
Huddle Up: Don't overreact to the two touchdowns from Gray. He had zero scores entering the game, and he has topped 40 receiving yards just once this season.
Posted 11/18/2024 4:24 am GMT
Kansas City Chiefs TE Travis Kelce caught two of his four targets for eight yards in a 30-21 loss to the Buffalo Bills in Week 11.
Huddle Up: Kelce had found his stride with 32 catches over the last three games, but he was practically invisible against Buffalo. Despite more forgettable performances than fantasy owners are used to from Kelce, he remains a TE1.
Posted 11/18/2024 4:17 am GMT
Kansas City Chiefs WR DeAndre Hopkins caught three of his four targets for 29 yards in a 30-21 loss to the Buffalo Bills in Week 11.
Huddle Up: Hopkins tied his lowest yardage total since joining the Chiefs, and three of his four games with his new team have yielded medicore results. Hopkins is no more than a flex play.
Posted 11/18/2024 4:13 am GMT
Kansas City Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy caught four passes for 61 yards and a touchdown in a 31-20 loss to the Buffalo Bills in Week 11.
Huddle Up: Worthy continues to show flashes, but the rookie lacks the steady production needed to be a weekly fantasy option. He is a boom-or-bust flex play.
Posted 11/18/2024 4:07 am GMT
Kansas City Chiefs RB Kareem Hunt rushed 14 times for 60 yards in a 30-21 loss to the Buffalo Bills in Week 11.
Huddle Up: Hunt has performed well as the starter, but with Isiah Pacheco expected back in Week 12, it remains to be seen how the carries will be dealt out. There is a good chance that Hunt's days as a reliable fantasy option are numbered.
Posted 11/17/2024 4:57 pm GMT
Kansas City Chiefs RB Isiah Pacheco (leg) is expected to be healthy enough to play in the Week 12 game, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
Huddle Up: Fantasy players will need to monitor Pacheco's practice participation during the week to see if he will be active for the Week 12 game. He likely will share playing time with Kareem Hunt when he returns to the lineup and could be a flex option in most leagues if active.
Posted 11/15/2024 8:49 pm GMT
Kansas City Chiefs WR DeAndre Hopkins (knee) fully participated in practice Friday, Nov. 15.
Huddle Up: Hopkins has recorded 12 receptions over the last two weeks and has caught two touchdowns in three games since joining the Chiefs. He should be one of the main options in the passing game for the Chiefs and can be at least a flex option in fantasy leagues.
Posted 11/15/2024 8:47 pm GMT
Kansas City Chiefs RB Kareem Hunt (knee) fully participated in practice Friday, Nov. 15.
Huddle Up: Hunt will continue to be the running back for the time being and will see plenty of touches against the Buffalo Bills. He should be a starting option in all fantasy leagues.
Posted 11/15/2024 8:46 pm GMT
Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes (ankle, hip) fully participated in practice Friday, Nov. 15.
Huddle Up: Mahomes has been playing better over the last few weeks but has only 12 passing touchdowns in nine games this season. He will be a starting option in two-quarterback leagues and can be a low-end No. 1 quarterback in most deeper leagues.
Posted 11/15/2024 8:21 pm GMT
Kansas City Chiefs WR JuJu Smith-Schuster (hamstring) practiced in full for a second straight day on Friday, Nov. 15, and has been removed from the injury report for Week 11 against the Buffalo Bills.
Huddle Up: Smith-Schuster has been sidelined since suffering his injury early in Week 7, which likely was the push the team needed to trade for DeAndre Hopkins. Head coach Andy Reid noted that Smith-Schuster "had a good week" at practice. It is unclear at this point if he will steal any snaps from Hopkins, rookie Xavier Worthy or move back into more of a third receiver role. He is worth stashing in fantasy, but it is probably best to avoid starting him for now.

Kansas City Chiefs RB Isiah Pacheco (ankle) was limited in practice all week but has been ruled out for Week 11 against the Buffalo Bills.
Huddle Up: Pacheco just had his practice window opened recently and was not expected to be ready quite yet, so this is not a huge surprise. He has a shot at returning for Week 12 and should be expected to take over for Kareem Hunt no later than Week 13. While Hunt has performed well in the box score, he has been highly inefficient and provides virtually no big-play ability. If the Chiefs allow Pacheco to handle the same kind of workload they have given Hunt and he is the same back he was before his injury, Pacheco will have massive upside.

Kansas City Chiefs PK Harrison Butker (knee) had surgery Friday, Nov. 15, to trim the meniscus in his knee.
Huddle Up: Butker will be out at least four weeks, and he was only the PK8 thus far anyway. Drop him and play the matchups the rest of the way. Spencer Shrader takes over for him, but the 25-year-old rookie has not attempted a field goal in the league yet.
Posted 11/14/2024 12:16 am GMT
Kansas City Chiefs WR DeAndre Hopkins (knee) fully participated in practice Wednesday, Nov. 13.
Huddle Up: Hopkins is averaging just under five receptions per game since joining the Chiefs and has posted at least 50 yards in each of the last two games. He will see a good amount of targets this week and should be a starting option in fantasy leagues.
Posted 11/14/2024 12:14 am GMT
Kansas City Chiefs RB Kareem Hunt (knee) fully participated in practice Wednesday, Nov. 13.
Huddle Up: Hunt was held to a season-low 35 rushing yards last week but had 65 receiving yards during the game. He will continue to receive most of the carries in the running game for now and can be a starting option in fantasy leagues.
Posted 11/14/2024 12:09 am GMT
Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes (ankle, hip) fully participated in practice Wednesday, Nov. 13.
Huddle Up: Mahomes is coming off a good Week 10 performance but has thrown for at least two touchdowns in only two of his last six games. He should be a starting option in all two-quarterback leagues and could be a possible low-end No. 1 QB in deeper standard leagues.
Posted 11/14/2024 12:07 am GMT
Kansas City Chiefs WR JuJu Smith-Schuster (hamstring) was limited during practice Wednesday, Nov. 13.
Huddle Up: Smith-Schuster has not been available for several weeks because of the injury but seems to have a chance to return to the lineup this week. He will see a handful of targets if he plays and could be a possible flex option in leagues.
