Chiefs RB Jerick McKinnon expected to play in Week 13

Pete Sweeney

The Chiefs say they will probably wait a week on LB Nick Bolton. Everybody else — including RB Jerick McKinnon and WR Kadarius Toney — is expected to play against the Packers.

Related Players: Isiah Pacheco, Clyde Edwards-Helaire

Fantasy Impact:

This definitely impacts Isiah Pacheco's ceiling —he caught all of his targets for a 5-34 line in McKinnon's Week 12 absence— but that doesn't mean he isn't a slam dunk play here in Week 13 as a fringe RB1/2. As for McKinnon, he can be considered a desperation FLEX, but keep in mind that he only has two games with double-digit fantasy points on the season.

Chiefs WR Justin Watson will miss "at least" a few weeks

Chiefs WR Justin Watson, who leads his team with 21.9 yards per catch, suffered a dislocated elbow last night, sources say. X-Rays were negative and he's getting an MRI now. He's out a few weeks at least, and it could be longer based on the results of the scans.

Related Players: Rashee Rice, Kadarius Toney, Skyy Moore

Fantasy Impact:

The Chiefs wide receiver room was already looking rough, as they continue to move the ball through TE Travis Kelce first and foremost. Rice doesn't line up on the perimeter as often as Watson has, but the rookie's role could continue to grow after his 4-72 output on Thursday Night Football.

Chiefs RB Isiah Pacheco, WR Kadarius Toney

No practice today for Chiefs’ RB Isiah Pacheco (hamstring) and WR Kadarius Toney (sprained toe).

Fantasy Impact:

Some people don't appreciate the tag "injury prone," but there is no easier way to quickly describe Toney's NFL career. Toney followed up his blistering 1-1-0 (two drops) opening week with a 5-35-0 Week 2 in which his final aDOT was -0.8. He should remain on benches regardless of injury status.

Pacheco has put forth two very usable fantasy days so far, snagging four passes in Week 1 and hitting 70 rushing yards in Week 2. If he is forced to miss Week 3, the fantasy community may be forced to hold their nose and stick Clyde Edwards-Helaire in starting lineups.

Expect Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes to test defenses deep as the season progresses

Nate Taylor

Sep 15, 2023 · 10:53 AM EDT

One reason Mahomes is the league’s reigning MVP is he became one of the league’s most efficient quarterbacks when attempting short and intermediate passes. In the Chiefs’ comeback victory over the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LVII, none of Mahomes’ 21 completions traveled more than 20 yards past the line of scrimmage.

Of course, Reid and Mahomes can anticipate the next trend: Opposing defenses starting to zig to more conventional coverage, a mission to clog the short and intermediate passing windows for Mahomes.

Fantasy Impact:

As the article would go on to mention, Mahomes' 8.2% deep ball rate in 2022 was a career-low. Particularly when the team returns a healthy Travis Kelce who can do so much damage in the short-to-intermediate areas of the field, the Chiefs may be pushing the ball downfield more often while defenses attempt to prevent their ultra-efficient short game.

Despite his horrendous first week of the season, Toney should expect some of that action to go his way, as his speed will often see him at the perimeter and beyond the defense. Valdes-Scantling was an incredible best ball target throughout the summer for this exact same reason. They are both difficult starts outside of deep-league Flex plays, but they will certainly pop from time to time this season.
