Kansas City Chiefs

Skyy Moore is the WR2 for the Chiefs, behind JuJu Smith-Schuster. At #50 in our WR rankings, he won't usually be a fantasy starter. He's projected for 597 yards and 4.2 TDs on 44.4 receptions, which is 19.0% of the total for Chiefs WRs. The Chiefs have the 8th-worst wide receiver schedule. Moore is worth drafting at his ADP of 121 as the consensus #123 overall player.

Marquez Valdes-Scantling is the third best WR on the Chiefs, behind JuJu Smith-Schuster and Skyy Moore. At #51 in our WR rankings, he won't usually be a fantasy starter. He is projected to catch 47.5 receptions for 775 yards and 5.1 TDs, which is 20.3% of the total for Chiefs WRs. Kansas City has the 8th-worst schedule for wide receivers. The market has Valdes-Scantling correctly valued at an ADP of 139, compared to an overall ECR of 124.

Chad Henne won't begin the season as the Chiefs' starting QB - that honor belongs to Patrick Mahomes II. You can safely leave him on the waiver wire. Henne is expected to earn 9% of his projected 8 fantasy points by rushing. He doesn't have the rushing floor that some other quarterbacks have. With a projected toughdown-to-interception ratio of 1.5, he carries more interception risk than is entirely comforatable.

As the consensus #216 overall player, Ronald Jones II is a reasonable pick at his ADP of 229. At a projected workload of 3.4 carries and 0.6 receptions per game, it's a desperate situation if you're starting Jones in fantasy. He trails both Clyde Edwards-Helaire and Isiah Pacheco on the depth chart in Kansas City. The Chiefs have the 14th-best running back schedule.

As the consensus #186 overall player, Isiah Pacheco is a reasonable pick at his ADP of 219. At a projected workload of 5.0 touches per game (4.1 carries and 0.9 receptions), Pacheco won't be reliable in fantasy. He's second among Chiefs running backs, behind Clyde Edwards-Helaire. Kansas City has the 14th-best schedule for RBs.

Jody Fortson is projected for only 99 yards and 1.1 TDs on 9.3 receptions. As the consensus #75, Fortson is best left on the waiver wire. Fortson will struggle for touches with Travis Kelce and Noah Gray ahead of him.

As our #62 TE, Noah Gray is not worth drafting. Gray is projected for 100 yards and 1.0 TDs on 10.6 receptions. Gray will be playing behind Travis Kelce at TE in Kansas City.

At rank 72 among tight ends, Blake Bell is not fantasy-relevant. Bell is projected for just 112 yards and 0.9 TDs on 12.2 receptions. Bell is not Patrick Mahomes II's first or even second choice at tight end, with Travis Kelce and Noah Gray on the roster.

With 0.4 projected rushes and 0.2 projected catches per games, Michael Burton is irrelevant in fantasy. He's behind both Clyde Edwards-Helaire and Ronald Jones II on the running back chart for the Chiefs.

Ross is not a focus of the the Chiefs' offense as their WR6. Ranked #179 in our consensus wide receiver rankings, he's not a real fantasy asset. He's projected to catch 0 receptions for 0 yards and 0 TDs, which is 0% of the total for Chiefs WRs. Kansas City has the 8th-worst schedule for wide receivers.

Watson might see limited usage as the 5th-ranked WR on the Chiefs. Ranked #136 in our consensus wide receiver rankings, he's not worth a draft pick in most leagues. Watson is projected for 68 yards and 0.7 TDs on 6.1 receptions, which is 2.6% of the total for WRs on the Chiefs. Kansas City has the 8th-worst schedule for WRs.

Kendall Blanton is projected to catch only 23.0 receptions for 254 yards and 2.0 touchdowns. At rank 89 among tight ends, Blanton is not worth drafting. Blanton is not Patrick Mahomes II's first or even second choice at tight end, with Travis Kelce and Noah Gray on the roster.

As the consensus #236 overall player, Jerick McKinnon is a reasonable pick at his ADP of 243. Projected to touch the ball 4.8 times per game (3.0 rushes and 1.8 receptions), McKinnon isn't someone you can really use in fantasy. He has some competition on Kansas City's depth chart, where he trails both Clyde Edwards-Helaire and Isiah Pacheco. Kansas City has the 14th-best schedule for RBs.

Clyde Edwards-Helaire is correctly valued at his ADP of 66 as the consensus #77 overall player. At a projected workload of 13.8 touches per game (11.5 carries and 2.2 receptions), Edwards-Helaire will see the ball enough to be relevant in most leagues. He leads Isiah Pacheco and Ronald Jones II on the Chiefs' depth chart. The Chiefs have the 14th-best running back schedule.

As our consensus #3 QB, Patrick Mahomes II is a solid starter, but comes at a significant cost at his ADP of 29. Mahomes is expected to earn 14% of his projected 373 fantasy points by rushing. While not insignificant, it isn't a major focus of his gameplan. With a projected toughdown-to-interception ratio of 3.1, Mahomes doesn't carry much interception risk.

At a projected workload of 0.0 carries and 0.0 receptions per game, Derrick Gore is not worth spending a draft pick on. He trails both Clyde Edwards-Helaire and Ronald Jones II on the depth chart in Kansas City.

With 0.0 projected rushes and 0.0 projected catches per games, Jerrion Ealy is not worth spending a draft pick on. He's behind both Clyde Edwards-Helaire and Isiah Pacheco on the running back chart for the Chiefs.

Juju Smith-Schuster is correctly valued at his ADP of 72 as the consensus #70 overall player. Smith-Schuster is the top dog among wide receivers on the Chiefs, with Skyy Moore and Marquez Valdes-Scantling behind him. At #31 in our WR rankings, he will be startable as a WR3 or Flex most weeks. He's projected to catch 78.2 receptions for 849 yards and 6.6 TDs, which is 33.5% of the workload for Chiefs WRs. Kansas City has the 8th-worst wide receiver schedule.

As the consensus #177 overall player, Mecole Hardman is a reasonable pick at his ADP of 168. Hardman might see limited usage as the 4th-ranked WR on the Chiefs. As the consensus #67 WR, he will ride the fantasy bench most weeks. He's projected to catch 57.7 receptions for 726 yards and 4.6 TDs, which is 24.7% of the total for Chiefs WRs. Kansas City has the 8th-worst schedule for WRs.

With a projection of 1,185 yards and 9.3 TDs on 99.7 receptions, Travis Kelce is one of only 2 TEs expected to record 1,000 yards. As the consensus #2 TE, Kelce is as sure a thing as you can find at the position. The market has Kelce correctly valued at an ADP of 17, compared to an overall ECR of 16. The Chiefs have the 12th-best schedule for TEs.
