Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Skyy Moore (knee), who was activated from Injured Reserve on Wednesday, practiced in full all week and doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's Super Bowl against the San Francisco 49ers. Moore will be available to play in this weekend's big game, but he could still be a healthy scratch since he hasn't played in a game since Week 15. Even if the 23-year-old is active, fantasy managers shouldn't expect the second-year wideout to be on the field all that much for the Chiefs' offense. In 14 regular season games (eight starts), Moore was a disappointment in his second year in the NFL with only 21 catches for 244 yards and one touchdown on 38 targets. Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Justin Watson should play in three-wide sets alongside rookie Rashee Rice in the Super Bowl.
Kansas City Chiefs rookie wide receiver Rashee Rice (ankles) returned to a full practice on Friday and has been removed from the final injury report. Rice will be ready to play in the Super Bowl on Sunday versus the San Francisco 49ers after he was limited in practice on Thursday. The 23-year-old should continue to serve as one of quarterback Patrick Mahomes' favorite aerial targets outside of tight end Travis Kelce against San Francisco. Rice started off his rookie season slow, but he's been the Chiefs' unquestioned top receiver since the midway points of the regular season. In three postseason games leading up to the Super Bowl, Rice has been busy, catching 20 of his 25 targets for 223 yards and one touchdown.
Dallas Cowboys tight end Peyton Hendershot (ankle) had surgery shortly after the season ended but should be good to go for the team's offseason program this spring. Hendershot only managed to play in eight games in his second NFL season due to injuries, ultimately finishing with just four receptions on seven targets for 38 yards and no touchdowns. It's good news that the 24-year-old's surgery won't really have a negative impact on his offseason training, but he also won't be fantasy relevant in drafts this fall. Hendershot should head to training camp this summer and the preseason as Dallas' No. 3 option at the tight end position behind Pro Bowler Jake Ferguson and Luke Schoonmaker.
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Skyy Moore (knee) managed to put in another day of full practice on Thursday. The Chiefs officially activated Moore from Injured Reserve on Wednesday, but that doesn't guarantee that he'll actually be active on Sunday for the Super Bowl against the San Francisco 49ers. The 23-year-old second-year wideout hasn't played in a game since Week 15, so even if he does suit up for the big game, fantasy managers shouldn't be expecting Moore to have a major role on offense for the Chiefs. In 14 games during the regular season, Moore wasn't really fantasy relevant, catching 21 of his 38 targets for 244 yards and only one touchdown. Stay away from him in fantasy lineups for Super Bowl LVIII.
Kansas City Chiefs rookie wide receiver Rashee Rice (ankles) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice after he was a full-go the day earlier on Wednesday. It's unclear if Rice tweaked his previous ankle injury, but it's something to keep an eye on heading into Friday and Super Bowl LVIII this Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers. The 23-year-old has easily been KC's No. 1 receiver for the vast majority of the 2023 campaign, so anything that could slow him down this weekend could have drastic consequences for the Chiefs' offense. We're still pretty confident that Rice should be just fine to play against San Fran. He's been held under 50 receiving yards in each of the last two playoff games, but in his first three career playoff games in total, he has a solid 20 catches on 25 targets for 223 yards and one touchdown.
