Kansas City Chiefs Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

Chiefs WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling (abdomen) is questionable for Sunday night’s game vs. the Bucs. He was limited on Wednesday and Friday, sitting out Thursday’s practice. MVS isn’t a recommended Week 4 fantasy play at less than 100%. His absence would free up snaps for WRs Skyy Moore and/or Justin Watson.

Giants WRs Kadarius Toney (hamstring) and Wan'Dale Robinson (knee) are out for Sunday’s game vs. the Bears. Neither guy practiced all week. With WR Sterling Shepard out with his torn ACL, the Giants are down to WRs Richie James, David Sills, Kenny Golladay and Darius Slayton.

Chiefs K Harrison Butker (ankle) did not practice on Thursday. That followed a limited practice on Wednesday. Look elsewhere for your Week 4 fantasy lineups.

Chiefs WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling (abdomen) went from a limited practice on Wednesday to no practice on Thursday. So his availability for Sunday night's game vs. the Bucs is now in question. Check back tomorrow for another update.

Giants WRs Kadarius Toney (hamstring) and Wan'Dale Robinson (knee) remained sidelined on Thursday. It looks like both guys will miss this weekend's game vs. the Bears, leaving the Giants with WRs Richie James, David Sills, Kenny Golladay and Darius Slayton.

Chiefs K Harrison Butker (ankle) returned to a limited practice on Wednesday. Kansas City dumped K Matt Ammendola earlier this week and hasn't signed a replacement, so it seems like Butker has a good chance to return for Sunday night's game vs. the Bucs

Giants WRs Kadarius Toney (hamstring) and Wan'Dale Robinson (knee) remained sidelined on Wednesday. New York is desperate for WR help after losing Sterling Shepard for the season. If Toney and Robinson can't play vs. the Bears this weekend, the Giants will be left with WRs Richie James, David Sills, Kenny Golladay and Darius Slayton.

Giants WR Kadarius Toney (hamstring) is inactive for tonight's game against the Cowboys. He'd been listed as doubtful, so no surprise here. Sterling Shepard, David Sills and Richie James are the favorites to lead Giants WRs in snaps tonight.

Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes completed 20 of 35 passes (57.1%) for 262 yards (7.48 per attempt), 1 TD and 1 INT in Sunday's loss to the Colts. It was a disappointing performance vs. a defense that had been soft against the pass through 2 games. But there's no larger takeaway on Mahomes' outlook here. A Week 4 visit to Tampa Bay looks challenging and might push Mahomes further down our top 12 than usual. Then come matchups with the Raiders, Bills and 49ers before the Week 8 bye. Buffalo and San Francisco don't look like easy spots either. We'll see about Mahomes' specific projections as we get closer.

Chiefs RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire scored the team's only rushing TD in Sunday's loss to the Colts. But that 1-yard score wound up part of a 0-yard rushing day on 7 carries for the Chiefs "starter." We'll put that in quotes because Jerick McKinnon wound up playing 8 more snaps and edging CEH in pass routes. Edwards-Helaire still tied for the team lead in receptions (5) by catching all 5 of his targets (for 39 yards). McKinnon matched his 7 carries but drew just 1 target. The primary takeaway here: Trade CEH while he looks like a fantasy asset. He sits 13th among Week 3 PPR scorers, with 1 game left to go, and 3rd among PPR backs through 3 weeks. Rookie RB Isiah Pacheco sat a distant 3rd in backfield use Sunday, playing just 5 snaps.

Giants WR Kadarius Toney is doubtful for Monday night's game against the Cowboys with a hamstring injury. That plus WR Wan'Dale Robinson's absence figure to keep David Sills and Sterling Shepard leading a WR corps with plenty of other remaining questions.

Chiefs K Harrison Butker (ankle) is out for Sunday's game vs. the Colts. Matt Ammendola will kick again for Kansas City. He made both of his FG attempts and all 3 XP tries in Week 2.

Chiefs WR Skyy Moore played 13 snaps in Week 1 and just 2 in Week 2. "Moving forward, I guarantee you'll see more than two snaps," OC Eric Bieniemy said Thursday. It's not a major surprise that a rookie from the MAC is off to a slow start. Moore remains an intriguing prospect -- and none of the other Chiefs WRs have stood out so far. Moore shouldn't be in Week 3 fantasy lineups, but he's worth stashing in fantasy leagues of 10+ teams.

Chiefs K Harrison Butker (ankle) remained sidelined for Wednesday's practice. His status for this weekend's game vs. the Colts is in question, so fantasy owners should have a backup plan in place.

The league has suspended Chiefs LB Willie Gay Jr. for 4 games for violating the personal-conduct policy. The discipline addresses Gay's January arrest for damaging property. He'll miss games against the Colts, Buccaneers, Raiders and Bills before returning in Week 6. Rookie Leo Chenal checked in 3rd among Chiefs LBs in Week 2 playing time.

Giants WR Kadarius Toney caught 2 of 3 targets for 0 yards in Week 2. Toney did have a 36-yard deep ball called back, but his usage remained underwhelming. The Florida product ran only 17 routes on 43 dropbacks from Daniel Jones. (And that was with Wan'Dale Robinson sidelined due to a knee injury.) Next up is a Monday night game vs. Dallas.

Giants WR Kadarius Toney (hamstring) is active for today’s game vs. the Panthers. We’ll see if he can top the 7 snaps he played in the opener, but Toney is nowhere near a viable Week 2 fantasy play.

Giants WR Kadarius Toney (hamstring) is expected to play vs. the Panthers today, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. He's listed as questionable after popping up on the injury report on Thursday. Toney, of course, played 7 snaps in the opener and shouldn't be anywhere near Week 2 starting lineups.

Giants WR Kadarius Toney (hamstring) is listed as questionable for this weekend's game vs. the Panthers. He was added to the injury report on Thursday and limited again on Friday. Toney, of course, wasn't a viable Week 2 fantasy option even before this hamstring injury popped up.

Chiefs RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire was again the leader of a 3-man backfield in the Week 2 win over the Chargers. He turned 8 carries into 74 yards, highlighted by a career-long 52-yarder in the 4th quarter. CEH added 4 catches on 4 targets for 44 yards. RBs Jerick McKinnon and Isiah Pacheco combined for just 6 carries and 2 targets. It's worth noting, though, that McKinnon out-snapped Edwards-Helaire 27 to 25 and matched him with 14 pass routes. (Pacheco played just 5 snaps and ran 2 routes.) CEH has looked good and been efficient through 2 games, averaging 7.7 yards per carry, 10.9 yards per catch and scoring 2 TDs. But he's totaled just 15 carries and 7 targets. He still looks like a low-end RB2 or high-end RB3 going forward.
