Kansas City Chiefs Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

Shark Bites are the latest fantasy football news & NFL updates. Draft Sharks has been in business since 1999. And when we started, redraft was the dominant form of fantasy football. Check out what we've learned about this most basic form of fantasy football along the way.

Chiefs RB Isiah Pacheco pounded the rock effectively in primetime, racking up 115 yards on 20 carries to go along with a TD vs. the Jets. He also snagged all 3 targets for 43 receiving yards as a pass-catcher in Week 4. Teammates Clyde Edwards-Helaire and Jerick McKinnon combined for 6 carries and 2 targets in the contest. Pacheco’s 24.5 PPR points land as the highest fantasy total in his career to date. Managers will hope for a continued streak of dominance in Week 5 vs. the Vikings.

Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes completed 18 of 30 attempts for 272 yards with 1 TD and 2 INTs in Week 4’s narrow victory over the Jets. He also added 51 rushing yards on 7 carries in the contest. This rare, error-laden effort from the reigning MVP puts him outside of QB1 territory on the week. Fantasy managers should expect a bounce-back effort in Week 5 vs. the Vikings.

Cardinals WR Marquise Brown (thumb) is active for today’s game vs. the 49ers. He injured his thumb on Thursday but was able to get in a limited practice on Friday. It’s unclear how big an issue it’ll be today, adding some risk to Brown’s Week 4 fantasy profile.

Cardinals WR Marquise Brown (thumb) is expected to play vs. the 49ers today, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Brown injured his thumb on Thursday but was able to get in a limited practice on Friday. It's unclear if the thumb will be a factor today.

Cardinals WR Marquise Brown (thumb) is questionable for this weekend's game vs. the 49ers. He injured his thumb on Thursday but was able to get in a limited practice on Friday. We'll look for further updates on Brown's status but won't get Arizona's inactives until around 3 pm ET on Sunday. The thumb injury will add some risk to Brown's fantasy profile if he does suit up this weekend.

Chiefs WR Kadarius Toney (toe) was limited in practice all week but isn’t listed on the final injury report. He’ll play vs. the Jets on Sunday night, but his role is completely unclear. Toney played just two snaps in last week’s win over the Bears.

Bengals TE Irv Smith (hamstring) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Titans. Tanner Hudson stepped in for Smith as Cincinnati’s lead pass-catching TE last week, catching two of four targets for 30 yards. Hudson would be a desperation Week 4 fantasy play.

Cardinals WR Marquise Brown was added to Thursday's injury report with a thumb and limited in practice. That likely means he injured the thumb today. We'll see what he does in Friday's practice and how he's listed on the final injury report for this weekend's game vs. the 49ers.

Bengals TE Irv Smith (hamstring) remained sidelined for Wednesday's practice. He shouldn't be in your Week 4 fantasy plans.

Bengals TE Irv Smith (hamstring) is inactive for tonight's game vs. the Rams. Drew Sample steps in as Cincinnati's lead TE but is only viable in DFS tournaments.

Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes' ankle is "all good," NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports. Mahomes got rolled up on near the end of the first half of Sunday's blowout win over the Bears. But he stayed in the game, only exiting in the third quarter after the Chiefs went up 41-0. Mahomes should be fine for Sunday night's game vs. the Jets.

Cardinals WR Marquise Brown gathered 5 catches, 61 yards, and 1 score in a Week 3 win over Dallas. His 7 targets represented a 33.3% team share. He’s benefiting from Josh Dobbs’ surprisingly effective play, as the QB hit him both downfield (23 yards) and at the goal line (2 yards) on tight-window connections. Brown now travels to San Francisco looking to sustain a hefty season-long target share of 27.5%.

Chiefs TE Travis Kelce delivered another classic performance with 7 catches on 8 targets for 69 yards and a TD in Week 3 vs. the Bears. This game was never close, as the Chiefs led 34-0 by halftime. It’s worth mentioning that rookie WR Rashee Rice also had some success on Sunday, with 5 catches on 7 targets for 59 yards. He logged 3 catches for 39 yards before the Chiefs rested most of their starting players by the end, so there’s some reason to be excited about this development. Kelce will look to further impress his new lady friend Taylor Swift in Week 4 vs. the Jets.

Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes completed 24 of 33 attempts for 272 yards with 3 TD in Week 3’s dominant win vs. the Bears. He also added 28 rushing yards on 3 carries in the contest. This game was already out of hand by halftime, so Mahomes was pulled before the end of regulation. Still, he posted enough production for fantasy managers to be happy. He’ll look to continue his MVP-level play in Week 4 vs. the Jets.

Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes was pulled in the third quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Bears, with his team holding a 41-0 lead. Mahomes racked up 272 yards and three TDs on 24-of-33 passing. He tweaked his ankle near the end of the first half but didn't miss any snaps. We'll keep an eye on that situation this coming week, but Mahomes should be fine for Week 4's meeting with the Jets.

Chiefs WR Kadarius Toney (toe) is active for today’s game vs. the Bears. He only got in a limited practice on Friday and would be a high-risk fantasy play.

Chiefs RB Isiah Pacheco (hamstring) is active for today’s game vs. the Bears. He got in limited practices on Thursday and Friday – and then reportedly looked and felt good enough in a Saturday workout to play today. This is a plus matchup against a bad Bears defense, but the hamstring adds risk to Pacheco’s fantasy profile. See where he lands in the Week 3 RB Rankings.

Chiefs WR Kadarius Toney (toe) is expected to play vs. the Bears on Sunday, according to insider Jordan Schultz. "Toney, I’m told, worked out Saturday and quelled any concern the team may have had," Schultz adds. "The medical staff will take one more look in the morning, but Toney will be a go barring anything unexpected." Toney, of course, was already playing limited snaps before this new toe injury, so it's tough to imagine him in a big role tomorrow. He's not a recommended Week 3 fantasy starter.

Chiefs RB Isiah Pacheco (hamstring) is expected to play vs. the Bears on Sunday, per insider Jordan Schultz. "The team will re-evaluate in the morning just to be sure, but I’m told Pacheco had a good workout Saturday morning," Schultz tweets. Pacheco gets a pristine matchup as a big home favorite against a bad Chicago defense. But he missed a lot of time this offseason after a pair of surgeries and is now dealing with this hamstring, so it's tough to imagine Pacheco handling a huge workload tomorrow. See where he sits in the Week 3 RB Rankings.

Bengals TE Irv Smith (hamstring) is listed as doubtful for Monday night's game vs. the Rams. He seemingly hurt his hamstring on Friday and was limited in Saturday's practice. Smith should obviously be on fantasy benches for Week 3. His absence will leave Cincinnati with TEs Drew Sample and Mitchell Wilcox.
