KC WR Kadarius Toney - Week 9 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 9 vs. Tennessee Titans

Kadarius Toney has joined the Chiefs, and it has fantasy owners everywhere excited about the possibilities. Toney was a 1st-round draft pick just a year ago, and has shown promise in the limited amount of time he's been healthy. He's definitely worth adding to your roster, but we'd probably hold off on actually playing him in Week 9. Coach Andy Reid said he will "try to work [Toney] in" this week, which indicates the newly acquired WR will be limited as he learns the offense. Toney has great upside, but we'd wait until we see how he's utilized in this offense.

NYG WR Kadarius Toney - Week 1 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 at Tennessee Titans

Kadarius Toney had a couple really nice outings last season, including 10 catches for 189 yards against the Cowboys in Week 5. However, injuries limited him to just nine games and he finished the season with 420 yards and zero touchdowns on 39 receptions.

The Giants will open the season against the Titans, who ranked dead last in aFPA to opposing wide receivers last year and are without top pass-rusher Harold Landry for the season. Still, the injuries through training camp and the general uncertainty about the Giants’ offense in general make it hard to trust starting any pass-catchers in New York for Week 1, so we have him cautiously ranked outside starter territory.

NYG WR Kadarius Toney - 2022 Fantasy Football Outlook

2022 Fantasy Upside
Kadarius Toney had a strange rookie year, but was effective in small stretches when he was a focal point of the offense. He had at least nine targets in three of his 10 games, and exploded for 10 catches and 189 yards against the Cowboys in Week 5. Toney has a tremendous skill set, with the ability to impact the offense from the slot, from outside, and even from the backfield. He only carried the ball three times for the Giants in 2021, but had 66 carries in four seasons at Florida. If new Head Coach Brian Daboll can turn this offense around, Toney might lead the team in targets and wind up flirting with WR2 numbers.

2022 Fantasy Downside
The Giants have been woefully bad for the past few seasons and were 31st in points scored in each of the past two years. Toney is dealing with a quarterback in Daniel Jones who may be entering his last season as a starter and he’ll be vying for targets with Kenny Golladay, Darius Slayton, Wan’Dale Robinson, and Sterling Shepard (if he’s able to come back from injury). Toney also spent much of last year nicked up and was limited to just 10 games. There’s a lot of risk in banking on anyone in the Giants’ offense, and Toney seems very volatile.

2022 Bottom Line
Toney is probably being drafted a hair high (10th round) considering the risks associated with him, but there’s definitely a world where he sees triple-digit targets on an improved offense. He’s worth the risk as the WR4 on your fantasy roster, but there’s an awful lot that can go wrong in New York, so buyer beware.

NYG WR Kadarius Toney - Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 at Chicago Bears

Kadarius Toney returned to action last week but struggled along with the rest of the Giants offense, catching four balls for just 28 yards. He did lead the team with nine targets, giving him some upside, but the Giants are just a difficult team to bank on right now. With the exception of deep leagues where you need a flyer, it’s best to ignore this passing offense completely for the rest of this season.

Update: Toney is out. If this affects your lineup decisions, you're probably already in trouble, but be sure to get him out of your lineup.

NYG WR Kadarius Toney - Week 12 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 vs. Philadelphia Eagles

Kadarius Toney was the lone “bright” spot for the Giants’ offense – unless you count OT Andrew Thomas, who caught a touchdown pass – with seven catches and 40 yards. He was targeted 12 times, and if the team continues to use him in this capacity, he could enter WR3 territory in PPR formats.

This week, Toney faces an Eagles defense that ranks third in aFPA to opposing running backs. It’s not a good matchup and the team is in disarray after firing Jason Garrett, so fantasy managers should hold off if possible. He has some upside with the targets he got last week as a desperation WR3 option, but in most leagues, he should be left on the bench.

NYG WR Kadarius Toney - Week 11 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 11 at Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Kadarius Toney was very disappointing against the Raiders before the bye last week, with just seven total yards on one catch and one carry. Toney was supposed to benefit from the absence of Sterling Shepard, but the team ended up throwing the ball just 20 times and Toney was an afterthought. With Shepard likely back and Golladay back in the fold, Toney is better off on your bench as a stash option for later in the season. He’ll have some upside if Shepard is a late scratch again, but for the most part, he’s too volatile to have in lineups. Sit him.

NYG WR Kadarius Toney - Week 9 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 9 vs. Las Vegas Raiders

Kadarius Toney had four catches on five targets for 26 yards last week against the Chiefs, and he also threw a 19-yard pass. Toney left the game with a thumb injury, so keep an eye on the rookie’s status throughout the week.

Assuming he’s active, Toney faces a Raiders defense that ranks 10th in aFPA to opposing wide receivers. It’s not a great matchup, but he’s been targeted when healthy and seems to have a nice rapport with Daniel Jones, as well as a key role in the offense. Fantasy managers should use caution and check the injury report before game time, but if he’s active, he has WR3 potential with some boom-bust upside.
