The Athletic's Nate Taylor lists WR Justyn Ross as one of the "risers" from the first few days of Chiefs training camp. Ross has been getting first-team work with QB Patrick Mahomes. “He’s a bigger receiver, but when you watch him, he really excels at route running,” OC Matt Nagy said of Ross. “He’s learning his timing, for Pat to understand how he runs routes.

We've seen plenty of highlights from Ross' camp performance, but he didn't get many first-team reps this preseason. He's not a viable fantasy option out of the gate but is an intriguing stash in deep fantasy leagues.
