Fantasy Impact: Bolton suffered the injured in the fourth quarter and did not return to the game. Bolton already has missed time this season with a high-ankle sprain, so the team has had experience dealing with his absence. The Chiefs will likely turn to veteran Drue Tranquill to fill Bolton’s role moving forward.
Chiefs WR Justin Watson is officially inactive for a Week 7 matchup with the Chargers.
Fantasy Impact: Watson did not practice this week due to an elbow injury and will not suit up Sunday. Watson is normally on the field in multiple wide receiver sets, so the Chiefs offense should be able to plug in another option Sunday.

Fantasy Impact: Kelce left the Week 5 game prematurely with a lower-body injury but returned to action in the second half.

Noah Gray (illness) was a non-participant at practice on Wednesday. (Source: Kansas City Chiefs)
Fantasy Impact: Gray didn't practice on Wednesday because of an illness. He played in Week 3, so it seems like his status for Week 4 isn't really threatened by this, especially since it's still early in the week. He should play against the Jets, but don't expect much from him with Travis Kelce in the lineup.
