Fantasy Impact: Wright will replace Spencer Shrader, who is being placed on IR with a hamstring injury. He connected on 4-of-5 of his field goal attempts last week and will likely remain the Chiefs' kicker until Harrison Butker returns from injured reserve.

Fantasy Impact: With Shrader landing on IR, Matthew Wright will serve as the Chiefs’ kicker again this week and will likely kick until Harrison Butker returns from injured reserve. Butker is at least one week away from being able to return from IR.

The Chiefs' D/ST logged three sacks and one fumble recovery while allowing 17 points in Friday's win over the Las Vegas Raiders.
Fantasy Impact: Kansas City only scored 19 points on Friday, but they were still able to pick up a win over the Raiders thanks to the efforts of their defense. They recorded one turnover and three sacks, and they allowed just 17 points on the day, which led to a Chiefs win. This unit will have a tougher matchup against the Chargers coming up in Week 14.

Justin Watson caught one pass for six yards and a touchdown in Friday's 19-17 win over the Las Vegas Raiders.
Fantasy Impact: Watson wasn't very involved on Friday, but he was still able to make an impact by scoring Kansas City's lone touchdown in their win over the Raiders. He doesn't see consistent work in this offense and will likely remain inconsistent moving forward.

JuJu Smith-Schuster caught one pass for ten yards in Friday's 19-17 win over the Las Vegas Raiders.
Fantasy Impact: Smith-Schuster was held to just one catch for the third-straight week on Friday. Earlier in the season it looked like he would have potential in Kansas City's offense, but that looks to be gone and his role seems to be diminished now. Fantasy managers shouldn't bother rostering him for the remainder of the season.

Noah Gray caught four passes for 58 yards in Friday's 19-17 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs.
Fantasy Impact: Gray had a nice showing on Friday. He wasn't able to follow up last week's two-touchdown performance with a score this week, but he played a solid game overall and ended with 58 yards total. He remains pretty well off of the fantasy radar for now, despite his ability to have a good game here or there.

Xavier Worthy caught five passes for 54 yards in Friday's 19-17 win over the Las Vegas Raiders.
Fantasy Impact: The rookie was targeted seven times over the course of the afternoon and did well with those opportunities, converting them into five catches for 54 yards en route to a win over the Raiders. He has week-to-week upside, but he's too inconsistent to be trusted as a weekly starter in most league formats.

DeAndre Hopkins caught 4-of-9 targets for 90 yards in Friday's 19-17 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders.
Fantasy Impact: The Chiefs were able to pick up a close win over the Raiders on Friday, and Hopkins did his job in helping with that. He led the team with 90 receiving yards on the day, which also left him with another solid outing for fantasy purposes. He remains a flex start at best for the foreseeable future.

Travis Kelce hauled in 7-of-13 targets for 68 yards in Friday's 19-17 win over the Las Vegas Raiders.
Fantasy Impact: The Chiefs made a point of getting Kelce involved on Friday. He was targeted 13 times on the afternoon and was able to bring in seven of them, which left him with a good fantasy total in PPR formats. He should continue to be a top-four fantasy option at the position for the remainder of the season.

Kareem Hunt rushed the ball seven times for 15 yards and caught 2-of-4 targets for zero yards in Friday's 19-17 win over the Las Vegas Raiders.
Fantasy Impact: Hunt saw 11 opportunities over the course of the afternoon, but he wasn't able to capitalize on them and ended them game with just 15 yards overall. His workload decreased with Isiah Pacheco now back in the lineup for Kansas City, and he probably won't see enough work to be a consistent starter for the rest of the season.

Isiah Pacheco rushed the ball seven times for 44 yards and caught one pass for five yards in Friday's 19-17 win over the Las Vegas Raiders.
Fantasy Impact: Pacheco has been out for most of the season due to a serious leg injury, but he was able to make his return to the lineup on Friday. The team limited his workload to just eight carries on the day, so any fantasy managers that started him were likely disappointed with his performance. Still, his efficiency was encouraging, and he should continue to get better as he ramps up over the next few weeks.

Patrick Mahomes II completed 26-of-46 passing attempts for 306 yards and one touchdown in Friday's 19-17 win over the Las Vegas Raiders.
Fantasy Impact: The Chiefs barely squeaked out a win over the Raiders on Friday, largely thanks to the good performance of Mahomes. He threw for over 300 yards on the day and scored once, while taking care of the ball and committing zero turnovers. He should continue to be an okay fantasy option moving forward.

Mecole Hardman Jr. hauled in 2-of-3 targets for 12 yards and rushed once for 9 yards in the Chiefs' Week 11 loss to the Bills.
Fantasy Impact: Aside from Hardman Jr.'s productive performance against the 49ers in Week 7, he has failed to clear 40 yards in any other game this season. He remains unusable for fantasy purposes.
