Kansas City Chiefs RB Kareem Hunt ran five times for 16 yards and caught his only target for 13 yards in Week 14 versus the Los Angeles Chargers.
Huddle Up: While the Chiefs were careful about putting too much work on Isiah Pacheco's plate this week, the latter's 16-6 edge in touches is a clear indication of how the team intends to split the backfield workload moving forward. Hunt can probably be dropped in most leagues at this point unless they want to stash him as a handcuff to Pacheco.

Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes completed 24 of his 37 passes for 210 yards and a touchdown and added 17 rushing yards in a 19-17 win over the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 14.
Huddle Up: After a five-week stretch in which he amassed 12 TD passes had fantasy owners hoping he'd hit his stride, Mahomes has thrown a single TD passes in Weeks 13 and 14. With some solid defenses over the final month, the veteran looks like a low-end QB1 or strong QB2 the rest of the way.

Kansas City Chiefs WR DeAndre Hopkins caught four of his nine targets for 32 yards and a touchdown in a 19-17 win over the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 14.
Huddle Up: Hopkins has been up and down since joining the Chiefs, but he does have four touchdowns in sevne games and has been targeted nine times in back-to-back contests. Hopkins has potential as a flex option, especially in deeper formats.

Kansas City Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy caught five passes for 41 yards and added a five-yard run in a 19-17 win over the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 14.
Huddle Up: Worhty has logged at least four catches and 40-plus receiving yards in four straight games, but he needs to connect on a big play to be a worthwhile fantasy option. The Kansas City offense hasn't been producing many explosive plays, making the rookie is a risky flex option.

Kansas City Chiefs RB Isiah Pacheco rushed 14 times for 55 yards and caught two passes for six yards in a 19-17 win over the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 14.
Huddle Up: Although he didn't find a lot of running room, it was encouraging to see Pacheco handle a bulk of the carries in his second game back from injury. He should lead the backfield going forward and will be in the RB2 mix.

Kansas City Chiefs TE Noah Gray (shoulder) fully participated in practice Friday, Dec. 6, and is not on the injury report for Week 14.
Huddle Up: Gray has caught four passes in each of the last three games and has four touchdowns during that span. He should see a similar workload this week but probably will not be a starting option in most leagues.
Posted 12/05/2024 10:47 pm GMT
Kansas City Chiefs TE Noah Gray (shoulder) practiced in full once again on Thursday, Dec. 5.
Huddle Up: Despite having the best tight end of this generation on the same team, Gray ranks as TE4 overall the past three weeks. He's a viable TE2 option entering Week 14.
Posted 12/04/2024 9:27 pm GMT
Kansas City Chiefs TE Noah Gray (shoulder) fully participated in practice Wednesday, Dec. 4.
Huddle Up: Gray has been a solid part of the passing game over the last few weeks with at least 50 yards in each of the last two games and four touchdowns over the last three games. He should see a handful of targets this week but is probably only a No. 2 tight end in fantasy leagues.
Posted 12/01/2024 3:28 pm GMT
Kansas City Chiefs WR Marquise Brown (shoulder) is slated to visit his surgeon during Week 15 in order to receive final clearance to resume playing, according to multiple sources. If all goes well, he could return to the practice field shortly thereafter and possibly see game action in Week 16 or Week 17.
Huddle Up: Brown has not experienced any setbacks in his recovery from a sternoclavicular shoulder joint injury sustained during the Chiefs' first preseason game. Owners who can afford the roster space should keep him stashed in an IR slot because he could make an impact during the fantasy playoffs.

Kansas City Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy caught five passes for 54 yards against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 13. He was targeted seven times during the game.
Huddle Up: Worthy has been more involved in the passing game recently with 18 targets over the last three games. He has posted at least 50 yards in only three games this season but could still be a possible flex option in some deeper leagues next week.
Posted 11/30/2024 1:00 am GMT
Kansas City Chiefs TE Noah Gray caught four passes for 58 yards against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 13. He was targeted six times during the game.
Huddle Up: Gray is still involved in the passing game even though Travis Kelce plays the same position and has posted at least 55 yards in each of the last two games. He should see a handful of targets next week but probably is only a No. 2 fantasy tight end.
Posted 11/30/2024 12:57 am GMT
Kansas City Chiefs TE Travis Kelce caught seven passes for 68 yards against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 13. He was targeted 13 times during the game.
Huddle Up: Kelce has played much better over the last two months and posted at least 60 yards in seven of his last nine games. He will see plenty of targets next week and should be a starting option in all fantasy leagues.
Posted 11/30/2024 12:53 am GMT
Kansas City Chiefs WR DeAndre Hopkins caught four passes for 90 yards against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 13. He was targeted nine times during the game.
Huddle Up: Hopkins posted his season high in receiving yards against the Raiders this week and has been targeted at least five times in four of his last five games. He should continue to be an important part of the passing game for the Chiefs and can be a weekly starting option in leagues.
Posted 11/30/2024 12:50 am GMT
Kansas City Chiefs RB Kareem Hunt rushed for 15 yards on seven carries against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 13.
Huddle Up: Hunt received a smaller role with Isiah Pacheco back in the lineup and was not able to find much success in the running game. He may see limited work moving forward with Pacheco playing and may not be a strong fantasy option.
Posted 11/30/2024 12:35 am GMT
Kansas City Chiefs RB Isiah Pacheco rushed for 44 yards on seven carries against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 13. He also caught one pass for five yards during the game.
Huddle Up: Pacheco returned to the lineup after missing multiple weeks and evenly split the carries with Kareem Hunt. He likely will receive more work in the weeks to come and can be at least a flex option in fantasy leagues.
Posted 11/30/2024 12:29 am GMT
Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes went 26-for-46 for 306 yards and one touchdown against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 13.
Huddle Up: Mahomes recorded only his second 300-yard game of the season this week but was held to one touchdown or less for the sixth time. He will be facing a good Los Angeles Chargers defense next week but is probably only a starting option in two-quarterback leagues.
Posted 11/28/2024 9:11 pm GMT
Kansas City Chiefs WR JuJu Smith-Schuster (hip) fully participated in practice Thursday, Nov. 28, and is not on the injury report for Week 13.
Huddle Up: Smith-Schuster has not been a big part of the passing game for most of the season and can be avoided in all fantasy leagues.
Posted 11/28/2024 9:09 pm GMT
Kansas City Chiefs RB Isiah Pacheco (ankle) fully participated in practice Thursday, Nov. 28, and is not on the injury report for Week 13.
Huddle Up: Pacheco will have a role in the offense this week, but it is not known if he will take over as the starting running back against the Las Vegas Raiders. He can still be at least a flex option in fantasy leagues even if he receives a limited role.
Posted 11/28/2024 6:10 pm GMT
Kansas City Chiefs RB Kareem Hunt (toe) practiced in full all week and was removed from the injury report for Week 13 versus the Las Vegas Raiders.
Huddle Up: With Isiah Pacheco back from IR, Hunt's fantasy usefulness is likely to come to an end either this week or next week. Fantasy managers should still expect him to remain somewhat involved, but the volume that made him an easy plug-and-play RB2 over the last two months is about to dry up. There is a distinct possibility he will be a little more than a handcuff to Pacheco when the fantasy playoffs begin in a couple of weeks.
Posted 11/28/2024 5:18 pm GMT
Kansas City Chiefs RB Isiah Pacheco (ankle) was activated from the Reserve/Injured list on Thursday, Nov. 28.
Huddle Up: Pacheco has been sidelined since Week 2, so fantasy managers should expect him to split carries with Kareem Hunt in his first game back against the Las Vegas Raiders on Friday. At what point Pacheco becomes the lead back remains up in the air, but it should happen by the start of the fantasy playoffs if he is fully healthy. Consider him more of a flex option with upside this week.
Posted 11/28/2024 12:20 am GMT
Kansas City Chiefs WR JuJu Smith-Schuster (hip) fully participated in practice Wednesday, Nov. 27.
Huddle Up: Smith-Schuster has posted only 14 yards over the last two games and can be avoided in all fantasy leagues at this point.
Posted 11/27/2024 7:15 pm GMT
Kansas City Chiefs RB Isiah Pacheco (ankle) will play in Week 13, barring any setbacks, head coach Andy Reid said on Wednesday, Nov. 27.
Huddle Up: Pacheco logged a full practice on Tuesday, which was the first sign that he'd make his return. While he should be rostered in all formats, Pacheco is not a suggested lineup option, as not only is he likely to be eased back in, he has to split work with Kareem Hunt. As for Hunt, he'll likely still take on the vast majority of work in Week 13 as Pacheco is eased back in, but his outlook is murky beyond this week.
Posted 11/26/2024 11:27 pm GMT
Kansas City Chiefs RB Kareem Hunt (toe) was a full participant at practice Tuesday, Nov. 25.
Huddle Up: Hunt seems to be on track to play Friday afternoon and is likely to split time with Isiah Pacheco (ankle), who is set to make his return from the Reserve/Injured list. With Pacheco's return, Hunt is likely best viewed as a high-end RB3 option.
Posted 11/26/2024 8:15 pm GMT
Kansas City Chiefs RBs Isiah Pacheco (knee) and RB Kareem Hunt are expected to split most of the backfield work in Week 13 against the Las Vegas Raiders, according to offensive coordinator Matt Nagy. Per Nagy, the workload will be determined during the game and based on the situation.
Huddle Up: Pacheco has not played since Week 2, so it only makes sense he would share some work with Hunt (and likely Samaje Perine). However, Pacheco should be expected to assume more of the work as the weeks go on since Hunt has been anything but efficient since taking over the backfield in Week 4. Assuming Pacheco is fully healthy, he should be considered a strong RB2 option moving forward.
Posted 11/24/2024 9:43 pm GMT
Kansas City Chiefs WR DeAndre Hopkins ended up with five receptions for 35 yards and a touchdown on six targets in Week 12 against the Carolina Panthers.
Huddle Up: Hopkins has three or more receptions in four consecutive outings, and he has scored three times in the four-game span. Hopkins hasn't re-emerged as a slam-dunk must-start fantasy option, but he can be relied upon as a solid low-end WR2 in PPR leagues of 12 or more teams, with WR3 status in most other formats. The Chiefs host the Raiders on Friday in Week 13.
Posted 11/24/2024 9:40 pm GMT
Kansas City Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy ended up with four receptions for 46 yards on six targets in Week 12 against the Carolina Panthers.
Huddle Up: Worthy has four receptions in each of the past two games, and he has managed 107 receiving yards in the span. It's his best two-game stretch of his rookie season. He is emerging as a decent WR4 late in the season, but don't rely on him for much more heading into Week 13 against the Las Vegas Raiders on Friday.
Posted 11/24/2024 9:37 pm GMT
Kansas City Chiefs TE Travis Kelce finished with six receptions for 62 yards on eight targets in Week 12 against the Carolina Panthers.
Huddle Up: Kelce had the most targets on the team Sunday, but it was Noah Gray who found the end zone twice, much to the dismay of Kelce's fantasy managers. Still, Kelce remains a must-start fantasy option in all leagues heading into Friday's Week 13 game against the Las Vegas Raiders despite the competition at tight end in Kansas City.
