JuJu Smith-Schuster Fantasy Overview

Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy (illness) is listed as doubtful for Sunday’s game vs. the Raiders. His absence leaves JuJu Smith-Schuster and Marquise Brown as Kansas City’s likely top two WRs. We’ll see if WR Jalen Royals gets involved. But you should continue to ignore this group in Week 18 fantasy lineups.

The Chiefs placed WR Rashee Rice on IR with his concussion. He'll miss the final two games of the season. It's probably for the best for fantasy managers: Rice would have been tough to trust with QB Chris Oladokun. WR Tyquan Thornton (concussion) is also landing on IR, leaving Xavier Worthy, JuJu Smith-Schuster, and Marquise Brown as Kansas City's likely top three WRs for the final two weeks. We'll see if rookie WR Jalen Royals gets involved, but this is a WR corps to avoid in all fantasy formats.

Chiefs WR Rashee Rice (concussion) won't practice on Tuesday, HC Andy Reid said. That leaves Rice as a long shot to clear protocol in time for Thursday night's game vs. the Broncos. WR Tyquan Thornton (concussion) also remains sidelined and will likely miss the Denver game. That'll leave Xavier Worthy, Marquise Brown, and JuJu Smith-Schuster as Kansas City's top three WRs, with Chris Oladokun at QB. The Chiefs are currently implied for 12.0 points.

Chiefs WR Rashee Rice (concussion) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Titans. He didn’t practice all week after reporting symptoms sometime after last weekend’s loss to the Chargers. Rice should have a good chance to make it back for Week 17, but we’ll track his progress next week. WR Tyquan Thornton (concussion) has also been ruled out for the Titans game, leaving Xavier Worthy, Marquise Brown, and JuJu Smith-Schuster as the likely top three WRs in this Gardner Minshew-led offense.
