Fantasy Impact: Rice remains on the injury report with a knee issue, but it shouldn't impact his status heading into Week 3. He remains a borderline WR1/WR2 play for fantasy managers.

Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said Emmett Johnson will continue to get more and more snaps. (Source: James Palmer on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Reid added that Johnson will see more snaps and take some of the workload off of Kenneth Walker. The rookie has flashed in a limited role over the first two weeks of the season. He remains a solid stash for fantasy managers in his current role.

The Chiefs' D/ST logged one interception and allowed 30 points in Sunday night's overtime win over the Indianapolis Colts.

Fantasy Impact: Kansas City's defense didn't look good on Sunday night. They allowed Indianapolis to put up 30 points, and they weren't able to log a single sack or turnover beyond one interception. This unit should bounce back and look great in matchups against the Dolphins and Raiders over the next two weeks.

Harrison Butker went 4-for-5 on his field-goal attempts and 3-for-3 on his extra-point attempts in Sunday night's 33-30 overtime win over the Indianapolis Colts.

Fantasy Impact: Butker missed one field goal on Sunday night, but outside of that, he was perfect. He made all seven of his other kicks, including a walk-off kick which secured the win for Kansas City in overtime. He should continue to be a good fantasy asset moving forward.

Cyrus Allen didn't see a target or touch in Sunday night's 33-30 overtime win over the Indianapolis Colts.

Fantasy Impact: The rookie saw very little involvement for a second-straight game on Sunday night, which makes him unlikely to be productive for the foreseeable future. Fantasy managers should feel comfortable dropping him in favor of someone who has been getting more work for the first couple games of the season.

Tyquan Thornton caught four passes for 86 yards in Sunday night's 33-30 overtime win over the Indianapolis Colts.

Fantasy Impact: Thornton looked great on Sunday night, leading Kansas City's wideouts with 86 yards on four catches. His production as a downfield threat helped lead the Chiefs to a close overtime win over the Colts, although for fantasy purposes he doesn't project to be of much use for the foreseeable future.

Xavier Worthy caught 5-of-7 targets for 25 yards and a touchdown in Sunday night's 33-30 overtime win over the Indianapolis Colts.

Fantasy Impact: Worthy saw good involvement with seven targets on Sunday night, although he was only able to turn that into five catches for 25 yards against the Colts. He was able to score on one of those catches, however, which salvaged his night from a fantasy perspective. He should not be considered a strong option at the wide receiver position until we see some more consistent production from him.

Travis Kelce hauled in 9-of-11 targets for 101 yards and a touchdown in Sunday night's 33-30 overtime win over the Indianapolis Colts.

Fantasy Impact: Kelce looked great on Sunday night. He led the team in receptions and racked up 101 receiving yards on the night, a number which he failed to hit at all last season. His touchdown was the cherry on top for fantasy managers, and he will likely continue to have good week-to-week value if Patrick Mahomes and KC's offense continues to look this good moving forward.

Kenneth Walker III rushed the ball 24 times for 117 yards and caught 6-of-10 targets for 61 yards in Sunday night's 33-30 overtime win over the Indianapolis Colts.

Fantasy Impact: Walker's hot start to the season continued on Sunday night. He totaled 178 yards from scrimmage in a big win over the Colts, and he was able to do that while maintaining terrific efficiency. He will continue to be a top-tier fantasy asset for as long as he remains healthy and on the field moving forward.

Patrick Mahomes II completed 32-of-47 passing attempts for 382 yards and three touchdowns while adding 17 yards on the ground in Sunday night's 33-30 overtime win over the Indianapolis Colts.

Fantasy Impact: Mahomes had an electric game on Sunday night, throwing three touchdowns and totaling nearly 400 yards en route to a narrow win over the Colts. He has been terrific since his return from injury and should be considered a worthwhile starter with week-to-week upside on any given week.

Fantasy Impact: Jones is good to go after clearing through pregame activities without any issues, offering head coach Andy Reid another key option as part of a Kansas City defense looking to shut down running back Jonathan Taylor and the Colts offense Sunday night.

Fantasy Impact: Conner will most likely be listed as out for Sunday.

Trey Smith (hip) is off of the injury report ahead of Week 2's matchup against the Indianapolis Colts. (Source: Matt McMullen on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Smith was dealing with a hip injury prior to the season opener last week, but he was able to play through it and now seems to be fully over it, as he is no longer listed on the team's injury report in any capacity. His presence is huge for this offensive line and for RB Kenneth Walker III in particular, who had a monster game in the season opener.

Fantasy Impact: Benson is likely to start in place of the injured Josh Simmons. It is not exactly ideal in Patrick Mahomes first start back off his torn ACL.
