Expert Note
View More NotesGeorge Karlaftis showed up in Week 6, notching three solos, three assists, one sack, two tackles for loss, and two passes defended on 78 percent of the snaps. Karlaftis remains a pressure monster (11 in Week 6), but the sack was the first of the season for the Chiefs edge rusher. Now that he finally has a sack under his belt, Karlaftis is safe to count as a DL2 option again, albeit a low-end one due to the DL4 floor. Count Furious George as a top-25 option for a plus Week 7 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks.
Player News

Fantasy Impact
The deal includes $62 million in guaranteed money and keeps the talented pass rusher in Kansas City through the 2030 season. Karlaftis III remains an elite, disruptive option as part of a Kansas City defensive unit looking to rebound from a disappointing performance in their Super Bowl loss to the Eagles.
