Kansas City Chiefs

Kadarius Toney might see limited usage as the 4th-ranked WR on the Chiefs. Ranked #108 in our consensus wide receiver rankings, he won't be worth owning in most fantasy leagues. He is projected to catch 5.6 receptions for 55 yards and 0.5 TDs, which is 2.7% of the workload for Chiefs WRs. Kansas City has the 8th-worst schedule for WRs. The market has Toney correctly valued at an ADP of 298, compared to an overall ECR of 291.

At QB3, Patrick Mahomes II is a strong starger, but won't come particularly cheap with an ADP in the 3rd round. Mahomes is projected to earn 43.8 of his 328 fantasy points by rushing. While not insignificant, it's not a huge part of his gameplan. Projected for a 2.8 touchdown-to-interception ratio, he doesn't carry much interception risk.

As the consensus #38 overall player, Isiah Pacheco is a reasonable pick at his ADP of 37. Projected to touch the ball 16.9 times per game (14.1 rushes and 2.8 receptions), Pacheco is an every-week fantasy starter. He's the top dog among running backs in Kansas City, with Clyde Edwards-Helaire and Keaontay Ingram behind him. Kansas City has the 12th-worst running back schedule.

As the consensus #242 overall player, Clyde Edwards-Helaire is a reasonable pick at his ADP of 259. At a projected workload of 5.9 carries and 1.8 receptions per game, Edwards-Helaire won't be reliable in fantasy. He's second on Kansas City's depth chart, behind Isiah Pacheco. The Chiefs have the 12th-worst running back schedule.

With a projection of 0.7 carries and 0.1 catches per game, Keaontay Ingram is safe to leave on the waiver wire. He trails both Isiah Pacheco and Clyde Edwards-Helaire on the Chiefs' depth chart.

Rashee Rice is the top dog among wide receivers on the Chiefs, ahead of Hollywood Brown and Xavier Worthy. At #35 in our WR rankings, he will be startable as a WR3 or Flex most weeks. He is projected to catch 53.0 receptions for 624 yards and 4.9 TDs, which is 25.4% of the workload for Chiefs WRs. The Chiefs have the 8th-worst schedule for wide receivers. Rice is correctly valued at his ADP of 67 as the consensus #73 overall player.

Hollywood Brown is the second-best WR on the Chiefs, behind Rashee Rice. Ranked #37 in our consensus wide receiver rankings, he will be serviceable most weeks. He is projected for 929 yards and 8.7 TDs on 70.1 receptions, for 33.5% of the workload for Chiefs WRs. The Chiefs have the 8th-worst schedule for wide receivers. Brown is correctly valued at his ADP of 85 as the consensus #82 overall player.

Xavier Worthy is the WR3 for the Chiefs, trailing Rashee Rice and Hollywood Brown. At #42 in our WR rankings, he will be startable as a WR3 or Flex most weeks. He is projected to catch 56.1 receptions for 847 yards and 6.1 TDs, which is 26.9% of the workload for Chiefs WRs. Kansas City has the 8th-worst schedule for WRs. Worthy is worth drafting at his ADP of 106 as the consensus #93 overall player.

Moore is not a focus of the the Chiefs' offense as their WR5. As the consensus #120 WR, he won't be worth owning in most fantasy leagues. Moore is projected for 112 yards and 0.9 TDs on 9.0 receptions, for 4.3% of the total for WRs on the Chiefs. The Chiefs have the 8th-worst schedule for wide receivers.

Watson is the WR6 on the Chiefs. Ranked #130 in our consensus wide receiver rankings, he's probably best left for the waiver wire. He's projected to catch 15.2 receptions for 219 yards and 1.7 TDs, which is 7.3% of the total for Chiefs WRs. Kansas City has the 8th-worst wide receiver schedule.

Justyn Ross is the WR7 on the Chiefs. At #156 in our WR rankings, he's not a real fantasy asset. He is projected for 0 yards and 0 TDs on 0 receptions, which is 0% of the total for WRs on the Chiefs. Kansas City has the 8th-worst schedule for wide receivers.

As the consensus #2 TE, Travis Kelce is tier 1. Projected to catch 92.6 receptions for 998 yards and 7.5 touchdowns, Kelce is one of only 6 TEs expected to record 800 yards. The market has Travis Kelce correctly valued at an ADP of 32, compared to an overall ECR of 32. The Chiefs have the 7th-best tight end schedule.

Noah Gray is projected to catch 28.3 receptions for 293 yards and 2.1 touchdowns. As the consensus #51, Gray is not someone you want to start in fantasy. Gray will be playing behind Travis Kelce at TE in Kansas City.

Irv Smith Jr. is projected for just 88 yards and 0.9 TDs on 10.5 receptions. As the consensus TE55, Smith is not worth drafting. Smith is not Patrick Mahomes II's first or even second choice at tight end, with Travis Kelce and Noah Gray on the roster.

Jared Wiley is projected for 84 yards and 0.7 TDs on 8.5 receptions. As the consensus #59, Wiley is not someone you want to start in fantasy. Wiley is not Patrick Mahomes II's first or even second choice at tight end, with Travis Kelce and Noah Gray on the roster.

Marquez Valdes-Scantling is the third best WR on the Chiefs, behind JuJu Smith-Schuster and Skyy Moore. At #51 in our WR rankings, he won't usually be a fantasy starter. He is projected to catch 47.5 receptions for 775 yards and 5.1 TDs, which is 20.3% of the total for Chiefs WRs. Kansas City has the 8th-worst schedule for wide receivers. The market has Valdes-Scantling correctly valued at an ADP of 139, compared to an overall ECR of 124.

Chad Henne won't begin the season as the Chiefs' starting QB - that honor belongs to Patrick Mahomes II. You can safely leave him on the waiver wire. Henne is expected to earn 9% of his projected 8 fantasy points by rushing. He doesn't have the rushing floor that some other quarterbacks have. With a projected toughdown-to-interception ratio of 1.5, he carries more interception risk than is entirely comforatable.

As the consensus #216 overall player, Ronald Jones II is a reasonable pick at his ADP of 229. At a projected workload of 3.4 carries and 0.6 receptions per game, it's a desperate situation if you're starting Jones in fantasy. He trails both Clyde Edwards-Helaire and Isiah Pacheco on the depth chart in Kansas City. The Chiefs have the 14th-best running back schedule.

Jody Fortson is projected for only 99 yards and 1.1 TDs on 9.3 receptions. As the consensus #75, Fortson is best left on the waiver wire. Fortson will struggle for touches with Travis Kelce and Noah Gray ahead of him.

At rank 72 among tight ends, Blake Bell is not fantasy-relevant. Bell is projected for just 112 yards and 0.9 TDs on 12.2 receptions. Bell is not Patrick Mahomes II's first or even second choice at tight end, with Travis Kelce and Noah Gray on the roster.
