Chiefs are concerned WR Kadarius Toney could miss "all of the practices" through camp

Nate Taylor

Jul 25, 2023 · 11:56 AM EDT

According to a league source, the Chiefs are concerned that Toney could miss all of the practices at Missouri Western State, as the final day of camp is Aug. 17. The athletic training staff plans to be cautious with Toney, who has had numerous lower-body injuries throughout his three-year career. But the Chiefs are optimistic Toney will be available for the season opener Sept. 7 against the Detroit Lions.

Fantasy Impact:

As Taylor would continue, "One of the issues for the Chiefs is that they were expecting Toney to continue building his chemistry, timing and connection with Patrick Mahomes during camp."

This clearly sets Toney back, and he may not be back until early in the season. The injury could lock in roles for rookie Rashee Rice and veteran Richie James inside this explosive offense.

Chiefs WRs Rashee Rice, Richie James, and Justyn Ross vying for No. 4 on the depth chart

The players projected at the top of the depth chart are Kadarius Toney, Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Skyy Moore. But Mahomes, at this point, doesn’t know which of his teammates is the favorite to be the No. 4 receiver. Rookie Rashee Rice, a second-round pick, didn’t make any major mistakes Wednesday and caught an easy touchdown pass from backup quarterback Blaine Gabbert. Receivers Richie James and Justyn Ross were also impressive with their targets.

Fantasy Impact:

This is an interesting observation from beat writer Nate Taylor, as the current order of the KC depth chart according to Underdog ADP is; Toney, Moore, Rice, MVS, Richie James. Not only that, but Rice is going almost three entire rounds prior to Valdes-Scantling even though it seems he may be behind him in 3WR-sets.

We're still very early in the process and the rookie could very easily find the field more as the summer months move on, but MVS might need to be in higher consideration.

Kadarius Toney "first in line" to become Chiefs WR1

The Kansas City Chiefs’ interest in wide receiver Kadarius Toney goes back well before they acquired him in a trade last season with the New York Giants. They were hopeful he would fall to them in the 2021 draft and then tried to trade for him last spring before finally getting him out of New York last fall.

It’s no surprise then that the Chiefs believe Toney is first in line to be their next No. 1 wide receiver.

Fantasy Impact:

The sky is truly the limit if Toney truly secures the position of being Patrick Mahomes' number one target. Though we did see in the first season without Tyreek Hill, the Chiefs didn't necessarily operate in the way that had with Hill; they spread the ball around much more. Juju Smith-Schuster technically operated as the WR1, but he finished as the WR41 in half-PPR points per game (9.1).

Toney's explosiveness should yield a better result if he is often the first read.

Giants WR Wan'Dale Robinson out for the season

Wan'Dale Robinson tore his right ACL, per head coach Brian Daboll. His season is over.

Related Players: Darius Slayton, Richie James, Isaiah Hodgins

Fantasy Impact:

Awful news for Robinson, who finally had his breakout game (9-100 on 13 targets) on Sunday. The Giants' dwindling receiver room gets even more depleted, and maybe the team will have to employ Kenny Golladay against their best wishes. Darius Slayton has become the team's de facto WR1, and we'll see how the rest of the usage breaks down, but Daniel Jones is going to have to keep making things happen with his legs.
