Chiefs now have placed WR Rashee Rice, WR Tyquan Thornton and CBs Trent McDuffie and Jaylen Watson on season-ending injured reserve.

With Chris Oladokun taking snaps this week, and potentially next, it'd be hard to trust any of these Chiefs pass-catchers in the most pivotal of pivotal fantasy weeks. Kelce can be considered a top-15 option, but not much more.

Chiefs ruled out Rashee Rice, Trent McDuffie, Leo Chenal, Jaylon Moore, Jawaan Taylor, Tyquan Thornton, Jake Briningstool, Nazeeh Johnson, and Derrick Nnadi for Sunday's game agains the Titans.

Geez. Worhty is likely the biggest beneficiary here, but his floor and ceiling are still very much capped with Garnder Minshew at the helm. Consider him and Brown WR4 options, while Kelce is in the low-end TE1 conversation.

Outside of a Week 13 touchdown, Brown has been a relative non-factor through most of the second half of the season. Rice is still locked into lineups, while Worthy should be considered down in the WR4 range.

Chiefs RB Isiah Pacheco and WR Xavier Worthy were listed as limited participants in today’s practice.

Each player still has some time, but as it stands, Hunt would be a fringe RB2/3 option and Smith would operate as an RB4 candidate were Pacheco to miss again.

Rashee Rice is an obvious WR1 regardless, but Brown could sneak into WR4 consideration in a good matchup, should Worthy miss the game.

With Pacheco set to miss more time, Hunt should be considered a fringe RB2/3, while Smith is more of a desperation RB4.

While Rice is still in WR1 territory, Brown is pushed out of potential WR4 range.

With Pacheco set to miss more time, Hunt should be considered a fringe RB2/3, while Smith is more of a desperation RB4.

While Rice would still sit in WR1 territory whether or not Worthy plays, Brown would elevate into more of a boom/bust WR4 role.

WR Hollywood Brown (ill), RB Isiah Pacheco (knee) and LT Josh Simmons (personal) will not practice on Wednesday ahead of Buffalo. As described by Andy Reid, RG Trey Smith will give it a "whirl" after going through the walkthrough.

Given that Brown's absence is due to illness, we'll hold off making any sweeping judgments about his absence.

As for Pacheco, it seems very unlikely he'll play in Week 9, leaving Hunt (RB2) and Smith (low-end RB3) in the mix as fantasy pieces.

Before the practice, coach Andy Reid said Rashee Rice will make his season debut Sunday when the Chiefs host the Las Vegas Raiders (1 p.m. ET, CBS).

"How many snaps he gets, [I don't know]," Reid said of Rice. "He's excited to be back in and going. I think getting through practices [this week] will be good for him to get into the swing of things. He's been working hard. He's in good shape."

We could see a bit of a snap count for Rice, but we wouldn't assume they would be putting him on the field if they weren't going to use him. Even if he is limited, this should be quite the upgrade for Patrick Mahomes, while the intermediate work for Kelce could end up taking a backseat to the far more explosive option. Rice should be considered more of a fantasy WR2 than WR1 as he ramps up.

Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy has no injury designation for Sunday night’s game vs. the Lions and is good to go.

Worthy has made an immediate impact on the Chiefs offense, combing for 17 targets in his first two games back. In a nice matchup against the Lions in Week 6, consider him a fringe WR1/2.

Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy (shoulder) is off the injury report and officially good to go Sunday vs. Baltimore.

Since his massive 16-target performance after Worthy went down in Week 1, Brown has been completely forgettable in his two chances to earn more work since. Push Worthy up into the WR3 range now that he's been completely cleared.
