Huddle Up: Worthy's presence has certainly helped the Kansas City offense, but his production has left a little to be desired. He has failed to reach 50 receiving yards in four of the last five games, and Worthy is more of a high-risk, high-reward WR3.

Huddle Up: Kelce has put together a string of solid performance, and he has now topped 50 receiving yards in five straight games. The veteran's numbers remain more than respectable for the tight end position, and Kelce is turning in another TE1 campaign.

Huddle Up: Brown made the most of his two receptions, but since the return of Rashee Rice, his production had been headed in the wrong direction. With fewer opportunities, Brown is going to have a tough time making consistent contributions for fantasy owners. He is more of a WR4 or WR5 at this point.

Huddle Up: It appeared that Smith was becoming a weapon in the passing game, but he has now gone back-to-back games without a reception. Despite the limited role, Smith is currently the primary backup to Kareem Hunt. Smith should be kept on rosters, at least until Isiah Pacheco returns.

Huddle Up: With Isiah Pacheco sidelined, Hunt handled a majority of the carries. He had some success, but the Chiefs were playing from behind for much of the game. His biggest asset this year has been his nose for the end zone, and he now has six touchdowns in the last seven games. Even when Pacheco returns, Hunt can considered a flex play.

Huddle Up: Mahomes had been on fire coming into the game, but the Bills kept him from throwing a touchdown pass for the first time this season. Mahomes should have plenty more big games in the future, but he does face a tough Denver defense following the team's Week 10 bye.

Huddle Up: RBs Kareem Hunt, Brashard Smith and Clyde Edwards-Helaire should split the carries for Kansas City in Pacheco's absence on Sunday night. Hunt is worthy of consideration as a flex option in deeper leagues but Smith and Edwards-Helaire are not recommended fantasy options.

Huddle Up: Edwards-Helaire will probably see limited work behind Kareen Hunt and Brashard Smith, so fantasy players can avoid him in fantasy leagues.

Huddle Up: Hunt is poised to be the lead back for the Chiefs as he is the starter after Isiah Pacheco was ruled out. He is worth a play in deeper leagues at the flex position as he has proven to be able to scalp touchdowns in the redzone in the Chiefs' offense.

Huddle Up: In Pacheco's absence, Kareem Hunt is likely to get the bulk of the carries. He is worth a target on waiver wires if you see him available as a flex play in deeper leagues.

Huddle Up: Smith appears on track to be ready for Week 9, and with Isiah Pacheco (knee) sidelined, Smith should be in for an increased role. He has already shown potential in the passing game, and if he adds a few more carries, he could post a serviceable stat line. Smith is worth adding if available, and he could have some flex appeal in PPR formats.

Huddle Up: Brown's health appears to be headed in the right direction, and unless he suffers a setback, there is a good chance he will be ready for Week 9. That being said, his role in the offense has been reduced now that Rashee Rice has returned, making Brown more of a WR5.

Huddle Up: Smith is likely to see a bump in offensive responsibilities in Week 9 against the Buffalo Bills with Isiah Pacheco (knee) nursing a sprained MCL. Smith could be in line for double-digit touches in the backfield. Whether he is the top option, the backup or in a timeshare role remains to be seen. He should be scooped up off the waiver wire if you have the roster flexibility, especially if you're light on RBs due to the bye-week crunch.

Huddle Up: With Isiah Pacheco (knee) listed as week-to-week due to a sprained medial collateral ligament suffered Monday against Washington, Hunt is likely to see an increase in fantasy appeal, whether he shoulders the load in Week 9, or even if he splits the backfield touches with Brashard Smith.

Huddle Up: Brown has a few more days to recover, and we'll likely know a lot more Friday when the official injury designations are revealed. However, with Rashee Rice back commanding most of the wideout targets, and Xavier Worthy and Travis Kelce also in the mix for targets, Brown's fantasy appeal is rather marginal. He should only be used as a WR5 in most fantasy leagues when healthy.

Huddle Up: If Pacheco misses time, Kareem Hunt will be the player to step up in the Chiefs' backfield. He ran for 40 yards and scored once in Week 8. He has the chance to be a flex play in fantasy lineups if Pacheco misses Week 9.

Huddle Up: Kelce had a bad drop early that turned into an interception, but he turned the page quickly and wound up leading the team in receiving on Monday night. After a slow September, Kelce posted 22 receptions, 292 yards, and 2 TDs in October. The veteran has reestablished himself as a midrange TE1. We'll see if he can claw his way back into the upper echelon.

Huddle Up: Thornton has gone without a target in two of the team's last three games. While he had some nice moments early on, with Rashee Rice back the time has come to cut bait on Thornton in all formats.

Huddle Up: In two games since Rashee Rice returned, Brown has been targeted five times, catching two for 14 yards and a touchdown. It's a small sample size, so if you want to hold onto Brown for another week to see if he's more involved versus Buffalo, you can, but those in standard leagues can consider moving on from Brown if there's a player of interest on the waiver wire.

Huddle Up: Worthy put the finishing touches on a tepid October, averaging 4 receptions, 37.5 yards, and 0.25 TDs in four games. Contrast that with the 121 yards he had in his return to the lineup in Week 4, and it's been a disappointing run. The problem is that the Chiefs have a lot of options, and with Rashee Rice back, it feels like he and Travis Kelce are the real focal points of the passing game. Now, Worthy did finish third in targets (7) on Monday night, which was more than Hollywood Brown, JuJu Smith-Schuster, and Tyquan Thornton combined, so he does feel like the No. 3 option, but over the last month he's performing like a WR4. Keep him on your roster, though, as he still has interesting potential.

Huddle Up: It was quite the night for Rice. He had a rushing TD out of the Wildcat overturned on replay review. He got called for holding and then unsportsmanlike conduct for throwing the ball at a defender's head. He fumbled a ball but recovered it himself. Oh, and he posted a 9-93-1 line, leaving him inches from scoring four TDs in his first two games of the season. Rice's presence changes this whole offense, and he looks like a possible low-end WR1 moving forward.

Huddle Up: Smith opened some eyes with his 19 touches in Week 7, but in a more competitive matchup on Monday night he functioned well behind Isiah Pacheco (12 touches) and Kareem Hunt (10). He's still someone to monitor, at least in deeper leagues, though there's no need to roster him in most formats.

Huddle Up: Everyone knows the book on Hunt. He's not going to get a lot of carries, and he's not going to gain many yards. It's all about the touchdowns. He has five on the season, including scoring twice in two different games in October. That affords him risky, touchdown-dependent value as a flex.

Huddle Up: Monday night got off to an inauspicious start as KC's first two drives both ended in interceptions, though the second one deflected off of Travis Kelce's hands for a hard-luck pick. Mahomes was unperturbed, rallying the Chiefs to 28 points as they won for the fifth time in six games. With a full complement of receivers now at his disposal, Mahomes looks locked in, and he has firmly reestablished himself as a high-end QB1 -- and you could make a case he's deserving of being viewed as the overall QB1.

Huddle Up: Hunt was removed from the injury report after fully participating in practice Saturday, Oct. 25. Prior to that, he had been held out of practice Thursday, Oct. 23, and was only a limited participant Friday, Oct. 24. Hunt has only seen a handful of touches in recent weeks and is unlikely to see an uptick in usage on Monday night, so he is not a recommended fantasy lineup option.
