Fantasy Impact: CEH will return to the team that drafted him and is expected to back up Isiah Pacheco. The former first-round pick tallied 223 rushing yards and one touchdown on 70 carries last season. Barring an injury to Pacheco, fantasy managers should consider CEH a handcuff in 2024.

The Tennessee Titans are acquiring Kansas City Chiefs CB L'Jarius Sneed in exchange for a 2025 third-round pick and a 2024 seventh-round pick swap. (Source: Adam Schefter on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Sneed has emerged as one of the best cornerbacks in the NFL in recent years, helping lead the Chiefs' secondary to consecutive Super Bowl victories. Kansas City has to be selective about where it spends its money and opted for a tag-and-trade with Sneed, though the compensation is likely not what K.C. initially hoped for. Sneed, a former fourth-rounder, has 10 interceptions and 40 passes defended in four seasons along with 303 tackles and 6.5 sacks. He's expected to sign a deal with Tennessee in the four-year, $76 million range.

Fantasy Impact: Kelce saw his seven-year streak of 1,000 yard seasons come to an end in a down year from a fantasy perspective, but came up big when it mattered the most in the NFL playoffs. He'll look to help lead Kansas City to a third straight Super Bowl win next season. His value in fantasy drafts will be interesting to monitor.

The Kansas City Chiefs are not expected to have WR Kadarius Toney active for Super Bowl 58 on Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers. (Source: ESPN)

Fantasy Impact: Toney’s season has been characterized by mental mistakes that have ultimately cost the Chiefs points. Since Week 15, when he had his second tip-drill-interception-inducing drop of the year, Toney has not played, whether it was injury-related, personal, or coach’s decision. Toney caught a TD pass in last year’s Super Bowl victory and had 27 catches for 169 yards and one score this season in 13 games. The Chiefs will rely on Rashee Rice, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Justin Watson, and Skyy Moore.

Moore had just 21 catches for 244 yards in 14 games in 2023 and has played 53% of the team's offensive snaps.
