Team news: Kansas City Chiefs | Page 10

Per the article, if he never plays another down for the team — which is certainly possible, since he's nursing a hamstring injury while he sits at the bottom of the depth chart — they will have paid him approximately $1.03 million for every catch he made.

You know things are rough when people are writing entire exposes about how much of a disappointing signing you've been. Kenny Golladay can be safely dropped in all redraft formats, while dynasty managers are probably just stuck holding the bag until he lands on another team. Hopefully, that can ignite a spark in a player that hasn't been fantasy relevant since 2019.

Taylor Heinicke will start Sunday in Houston, Ron Rivera said.

Heinicke has guided the Commanders to a 3-1 mark since taking over for Wentz. Wentz remains on the IR with his finger injury but at this point it's going to be hard for the Commanders to go back to Wentz. This hopefully continues to be good news for Terry McLaurin, who has become fantasy-relevant again since Heinicke has taken over.

Potentially important: The Cardinals opened the practice window for WR Marquise Brown and he could play on Monday night.

Brown has had been dealing with a small broken bone in his foot. It would be a real nice boost for the Cards offense which just recently added DeAndre Hopkins back from suspension. As we reported earlier today, Kyler Murray may miss more time with his hamstring injury, meaning Colt McCoy could get the start. McCoy wasn't bad last week, so this would also be a nice boost for McCoy if he's under center. Keep in mind, this is a Monday night game so owners will need to have a backup plan if they're hoping to play Brown.

Cardinals have informed RB Eno Benjamin - who started for them when James Conner was hurt this season - that they are releasing him.

Benjamin was on the field for exactly one offensive snap in Week 10 after converting his one target in 15 yards the week prior. Rookie sixth-rounder Keaontay Ingram has hardly been used any more than that, but he will operate as the immediate Conner backup for now.

The Chiefs say that WR Mecole Hardman (abdomen) won't practice for the second straight day.

It would be a shame to see Hardman miss time in the midst of a breakout that many fantasy managers have been waiting years to see. If he's forced out of Week 10, we could see a bump in manufactured touches to new arrival, Kadarius Toney.

The team returned from their bye week on Tuesday and Kenny Golladay was on the practice field. It’s the first time that Golladay has practiced since the Friday before their Week Four win over the Bears and Giants head coach Brian Daboll said that Golladay should play against the Texans this weekend.

How much Golladay plays is a different question. We have him buried way down the team's depth chart.

Andy Reid suggested Kadarius Toney could play against Titans on Sunday night. "We'll try to work him in. He picks things up fairly easily."

Fantasy owners should probably take the wait-and-see approach with Toney in Week 9. He looks on track to play but will likely be limited to certain packages.

Chiefs coach Andy Reid said WR Kadarius Toney "is healthy now." Toney dealt with a hamstring injury with the Giants. "We'll see how he fits in," Reid said, pointing out "it will be a gradual process" working him in.

Toney's miraculous healing is not very surprising after his falling out with New York, and now he'll look to assimilate his hamstring in Kansas City. While his fantasy ceiling is through the roof on the most explosive offense in the NFL, his immediate floor projections will make him difficult for starting considerations.

Cardinals’ RB James Conner is out Sunday against the Vikings due to his rib injury.

Related Players: Eno Benjamin, Keaontay Ingram

It looks like Eno Benjamin's backfield yet again, with Keaontay Ingram operating as his backup. Benjamin finished Week 7 as fantasy's RB5.

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

Related Players: Wan'Dale Robinson, JuJu Smith-Schuster, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Mecole Hardman, Skyy Moore

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.
