Kansas City Chiefs Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes went 23-of-37 passing for 249 yards and 3 TDs with 1 INT in Sunday night's loss at Tampa Bay. Mahomes found TE Travis Kelce, TE Jody Fortson and RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire for TDs. Kelce (10) and WR JuJu Smith-Schuster (8) led the Chiefs in targets and receptions. A Week 5 home date with the Raiders looks even more favorable for the K.C. offense.

Packers TE Robert Tonyan found the end zone in Sunday's OT win over the Patriots, catching 1 of Aaron Rodgers' 2 TD passes. That came on 1 of just 2 targets for the game, though. Tonyan continued to see his opportunities capped, running a route on 57% of Rodgers dropbacks. He'll need to improve on that to climb toward top-12 fantasy football lineup consideration.

Commanders QB Carson Wentz threw for just 170 yards, 1 TD and 2 INTs in Sunday's 25-10 loss to the Cowboys. WR Curtis Samuel once again led the team in targets (7), catching 4 balls for 38 yards. TE Logan Thomas, WR Terry McLaurin and TE John Bates tied for 2nd with 6 targets apiece. Rookie WR Jahan Dotson led the squad with 43 receiving yards and snagged the lone TD but left early with a hamstring injury. Dallas looked like a negative matchup heading in. A Week 5 home date with the Titans presents rebound potential.

Cardinals WR Marquise Brown (foot) is active for today’s game vs. the Panthers. He was added to the injury report on Friday and limited in practice, but we haven’t heard anything to suggest that the foot will be a factor today.

Cardinals WR Marquise Brown (foot) is expected to play vs. the Panthers today, per ESPN's Adam Schefter. Brown was added to Friday's injury report and limited in practice, but we never heard any real concern about his status. He can stay in Week 4 fantasy lineups.

Chiefs K Harrison Butker (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday night's game vs. the Bucs. Kansas City will elevate K Matthew Wright from the practice squad for that one.

Chiefs K Harrison Butker (ankle) is questionable for Sunday night’s game vs. the Bucs. He didn’t practice on Thursday or Friday after a limited workout on Wednesday. Look elsewhere for your Week 4 fantasy kicker.

Cardinals WR Marquise Brown (foot) is listed as questionable for this weekend's game vs. the Panthers. He was added to the injury report on Friday and limited in practice. We'll look for further details on his status ahead of Sunday's 4:05 pm ET kickoff.

Chiefs K Harrison Butker (ankle) did not practice on Thursday. That followed a limited practice on Wednesday. Look elsewhere for your Week 4 fantasy lineups.

Chiefs K Harrison Butker (ankle) returned to a limited practice on Wednesday. Kansas City dumped K Matt Ammendola earlier this week and hasn't signed a replacement, so it seems like Butker has a good chance to return for Sunday night's game vs. the Bucs

Cardinals WR Marquise Brown racked up 17 targets in Sunday's loss to the Rams, catching 14 of them for 140 yards. We'll obviously take those number for fantasy football lineups, but credit a passing-volume bubble for a struggling offense. QB Kyler Murray attempted 58 passes, completing 37 (63.8%) for 314 yards, with no TDs or INTs. WR Greg Dortch and TE Zach Ertz followed Brown with 10 targets apiece. No other Cardinals drew more than 5 looks. Dortch caught 9 of his targets for 80 yards; Ertz caught 6 for 45.

Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes completed 20 of 35 passes (57.1%) for 262 yards (7.48 per attempt), 1 TD and 1 INT in Sunday's loss to the Colts. It was a disappointing performance vs. a defense that had been soft against the pass through 2 games. But there's no larger takeaway on Mahomes' outlook here. A Week 4 visit to Tampa Bay looks challenging and might push Mahomes further down our top 12 than usual. Then come matchups with the Raiders, Bills and 49ers before the Week 8 bye. Buffalo and San Francisco don't look like easy spots either. We'll see about Mahomes' specific projections as we get closer.

Chiefs WR JuJu Smith-Schuster tied Travis Kelce for the target lead (8) in Sunday's loss to the Colts, tied Clyde Edwards-Helaire for the reception lead (5) and paced the team with 89 receiving yards. He remained close to Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Mecole Hardman in routes: 35 for MVS, 33 for Smith-Schuster and 28 for Hardman. Valdes-Scantling drew 7 targets for the 2nd straight game, while Hardman garnered just 1. QB Patrick Mahomes spread his attempts around less than in the Week 2 win over the Chargers. With Hardman back healthy -- he was in and out of the Week 2 contest -- WR Justin Watson played just 10 snaps; Skyy Moore 8.

Chiefs K Harrison Butker (ankle) is out for Sunday's game vs. the Colts. Matt Ammendola will kick again for Kansas City. He made both of his FG attempts and all 3 XP tries in Week 2.

Chiefs WR Skyy Moore played 13 snaps in Week 1 and just 2 in Week 2. "Moving forward, I guarantee you'll see more than two snaps," OC Eric Bieniemy said Thursday. It's not a major surprise that a rookie from the MAC is off to a slow start. Moore remains an intriguing prospect -- and none of the other Chiefs WRs have stood out so far. Moore shouldn't be in Week 3 fantasy lineups, but he's worth stashing in fantasy leagues of 10+ teams.

Chiefs K Harrison Butker (ankle) remained sidelined for Wednesday's practice. His status for this weekend's game vs. the Colts is in question, so fantasy owners should have a backup plan in place.

Commanders QB Carson Wentz racked up 337 yards and 3 TDs (plus an INT) on 30-of-46 passing in Sunday's loss to the Lions. He threw TDs to Jahan Dotson, Logan Thomas and Curtis Samuel, who once again led Washington in targets (9). Wentz has topped 40 pass attempts and 300 yards in each game so far. Week 3 brings another matchup with shootout potential: Philadelphia.

After a strong Chiefs debut last week, WR JuJu Smith-Schuster mustered just 3 catches for 10 yards in Thursday night's win over the Chargers. His 3 targets tied for 5th on the team and were just 9% of the team total. He ran a route on 79% of pass plays after posting an 80% route rate in Week 1, so this was just a matter of not drawing targets. Smith-Schuster remains a fantasy starter going forward, but he figures to be inconsistent on a Chiefs offense that is intent on spreading the ball around.

The Chiefs have ruled K Harrison Butker (left ankle) out for Thursday night's game against the Chargers. Matt Amendola is expected to kick in his absence, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

Chiefs K Harrison Butker (ankle) missed his 2nd straight practice on Tuesday. He was able to battle through this injury in the opener, but Butker shouldn't be considered a lock to play vs. the Chargers on Thursday night. We'll update his status again tomorrow.
