Fantasy Football Player Notes
2020 PPR Rest of Season Rankings
|
5.
Tyreek Hill
WR - (vs . LAC)
Hill doesn't get the targets that some of the other top receivers do - he has seen exactly six targets in four of his five games - and he has yet to top 100 yards receiving. But he's scored in every game this season and is a threat to reach the end zone anytime he touches the ball. He's a top-three options most week and going forward.

8.
Travis Kelce
TE - (vs . LAC)
Kelce caught all six of his targets for 50 yards and a touchdown in the opener against the Texans. He's a dominant force at the position and at worst the second option at tight end. Absent injury, it should be another fantastic season for Kelce and pretty much every part of the Chiefs offense.

30.
Patrick Mahomes II
QB - (vs . LAC)
Mahomes looked like his typical dominant self in the opener against the Texans, throwing three touchdown passes and making plenty of incredible throws from off-balanced positions. If there's a negative to be drawn, it's how much the Chiefs relied on the run and Clyde Edwards-Helaire, which could take away some upside. But don't kid yourself, Mahomes is obviously a top-two option at the position.

62.
Le'Veon Bell
RB - (vs . LAC)
Bell signed with the Chiefs on October 15th, and will now be the 1B to Clyde Edwards-Helaire's 1A. It wasn't the best spot for Bell to land, in that there is a younger and more talented back ahead of him. But he'll play for an elite offense, one that is capable of utilizing his skill set. Consider Bell a strong Flex play going forward.

152.
Darrel Williams
RB - (vs . LAC)
|
|
165.
Harrison Butker
K - (vs . LAC)
Butker led the NFL in field-goal attempts and conversions last year, and the Chiefs are nearly always among the league leaders in field-goal attempts. Wait on kicker, obviously, but Butker will be one of the best yet again.

169.
Kansas City Chiefs
DST - (vs . LAC)
|
|
183.
Jerick McKinnon
RB - (vs . LAC)
McKinnon has looked very good in his limited touches, and he should get the chance at a more featured role with both Raheem Mostert and Tevin Coleman set to miss time. McKinnon is not going to be a workhorse back - not given his size and how much time he has missed because of injuries. But he's a must-add in nearly all formats, and should be in line for a 15-touch role at least until Mostert returns.

|
185.
Mecole Hardman
WR - (vs . LAC)
Hardman played just 30% of he snaps in Week 1, and is essentially in a rotation with Demarcus Robinson for the third receiver spot with the Chiefs. He'll need an injury to someone in front of him to be fantasy viable.
|
|
197.
Clyde Edwards-Helaire
RB - (vs . LAC)
|
|
265.
Demarcus Robinson
WR - (vs . LAC)
Robinson could have had two touchdowns in the opener against the Texans, but was instead limited to just three catches and 20 yards. He's in a rotation with Mecole Hardman as the third wide receiver and doesn't need to be rostered anywhere.
|
|
359.
Darwin Thompson
RB - (vs . LAC)
Thompson has talent and plays in an outstanding system for running backs, but there's almost no chance he'll have fantasy value this year. Clyde Edwards-Helaire will lead the way in the Kansas City backfield, and DeAndre Washington and Darrel Williams will also compete for touches. Thompson would have potential if he ever saw enough of an opportunity, but there's little chance of that happening in 2020.
