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.

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.

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.

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.

Chiefs re-signed WR Justin Watson to a two-year deal, per his agent.

Watson worked as a rotational option in 2022, finishing with the third-most routes run by a wide receiver on the team. The only issue is, he also ranked behind Travis Kelce, Jerick McKinnon, and Noah Gray, which made him the sixth receiving option on the team. It's possible he could fight for a WR3 position with the team but we should expect them to pour draft resources into the position as well.

The Giants are trading WR Kadarius Toney to the Chiefs for a third-round compensatory pick and a 2023 sixth-round pick.

This trade affects a number of players, but to what extent remains to be seen. Toney had clearly had a falling out with the new coaching regime, and trade rumors began to swirl almost immediately. The 2021 first-round pick has been sidelined for almost the entirety of this season, though the team continued to site health issues as the major reason he'd only appeared in one and a half games. Rookie Skyy Moore has received only 11 targets through six games and has yet to run 15 routes in any single game, so they may plug Toney into the role they were hoping to mold Moore into.

Chiefs WR JuJu Smith-Schuster, who's listed as questionable with quad and hamstring injuries, is expected to play tonight against the Raiders.

The target distribution outside of Travis Kelce is hard to swallow, but Smith-Schuster remains the best WR option for fantasy as long as he is on the field. If you kept him in your Flex spot throughout the weekend, hoping he would play, he should deliver a solid floor on MNF.

The Chiefs selected Skyy Moore in the second round of this year’s draft and it seemed like he could be a significant early contributor to the team’s offense.

But instead, Moore has mostly been a punt returner — and even that is a job where he could use some improvement. Moore muffed the first punt of Sunday’s loss to the Colts, which set up an Indianapolis touchdown.

Moore has made only one catch so far — a 30-yard grab against the Cardinals in Week 1. He played only two offensive snaps in the Week 2 victory over the Chargers and eight offensive snaps in Sunday’s loss to the Colts. HC Andy Reid was quoted in the story as saying Moore's "time will come."

The Chiefs say TE Blake Bell (hip), DE Carlos Dunlap, CB Rashad Fenton (groin), RB Derrick Gore (thumb), OL Lucas Niang (knee) and WR JuJu Smith-Schuster (knee) will not practice today.

That means WR Mecole Hardman and DT Chris Jones should be back to work.

We already have Moore listed third on the depth chart in terms of fantasy. Hardman is expected to open as the team's WR3 but it's likely only a matter of time before Moore passes him and is the more fantasy-relevant option.

Chiefs WR Mecole Hardman, who was carted off the practice field today, is being evaluated for a possible groin injury, according to a source.

Hardman is likely behind JuJu, MVS and the rookie Moore, but anyone in this offense who sees regular time can be fantasy-worthy. If Hardman were to miss time, it likely means Moore benefits the most as the two seemed to be battling for the team's WR3 spot.

Andy Reid notes WR Skyy Moore was back at practice today after exiting early yesterday with a hip issue.

It's great news for the Chiefs and Moore owners. Moore's injury Tuesday didn't look good on the video that was tweeted out, but later in the day Moore said he was "okay" after the injury.

Chiefs Skyy Moore says he’s okay after leaving practice early Tuesday.

A video tweeted earlier in the day saw Moore drop a pass but go down with what was later determined to be a hip injury. It didn't look good but Moore at least says he's okay at this point. We can't always trust players but this seems like good news.
