Kansas City Chiefs

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes collected the third Super Bowl win of his decorated career in Sunday's 25-22 overtime victory over the San Francisco 49ers, completing 34-of-46 passes for 333 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception and adding nine carries for 66 yards. San Francisco held Mahomes and company in check during the first two quarters of a thrilling Super Bowl LVIII, but these two heavyweights went punch for punch after halftime. After a botched Niners punt in the third period, Mahomes perhaps caught the defense off guard with a go-ahead 16-yard score to Marquez Valdes-Scantling. K.C. later matched San Fran's 13-play scoring in OT with one of their own, with Mahomes cashing in a game-winning TD from three yards away to Mecole Hardman Jr. Despite the three-time Super Bowl MVP's down year statistically, Mahomes will be a no-brainer top-five fantasy QB1 when it's time for 2024 drafts.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Justyn Ross is a healthy scratch for Sunday's Super Bowl against the San Francisco 49ers. The 24-year-old rookie returned from suspension to play in 10 regular-season and two playoff games this year. He hasn't caught a pass since Week 18 and ultimately finished his rookie campaign with just six receptions for 53 yards. Ross joins Kadarius Toney (coach's decision) on the bench Sunday, leaving Rashee Rice, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Mecole Hardman Jr., and Justin Watson as the Chiefs' top active wide receivers.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Justin Watson is set to serve as the team's No. 3 wideout on Super Bowl Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers. The problem with that role, however, is that K.C.'s passing attack has been so concentrated toward Travis Kelce and Rashee Rice that there hasn't been much production to go around beside them. In his last five games, Watson has collected four of his nine targets for 77 scoreless yards since Week 17. The 27-year-old downfield threat is still likely to work in a rotation with other Chiefs receivers, handling around 52% of the team's offensive snaps across three playoff appearances this postseason, so he's not going to be a reliable bet in the big game. Besides some dart-throw appeal, Watson is a low-floor DFS play without a particularly high ceiling.

After fully practicing on Wednesday, Kansas City Chiefs running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire (illness) popped up on the team's injury report on Thursday and was downgraded to a limited practice participant due to an illness. While that initially put the 24-year-old's status into question for Super Bowl LVIII on Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers, he put in a full session on Friday and enters the big game with no injury designation. Although Jerick McKinnon (groin) is questionable to play following a week of limited practices, head coach Andy Reid said on Tuesday that the pass-catching back is not expected to play. That leaves Edwards-Helaire as the Chiefs' change-of-pace back behind Isiah Pacheco, a role that's yielded only 27% of K.C.'s offensive snaps over three postseason games. Even though he's cheap in DFS, CEH is unlikely to make much of an impact with such little opportunity and would be totally out of play if McKinnon is surprisingly active.

Kansas City Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco (ankle, toe) continues to deal with nagging ankle and toe injuries, but he'll be all systems go for Sunday's Super Bowl against the San Francisco 49ers. Although the Niners allowed the second-fewest rushing yards to RBs (1,097) during the regular season, they were beat up a bit by opposing tailbacks in the passing game for the fifth-most catches (90) and seventh-most receiving yards (625) to the position. Aaron Jones accrued 116 total yards in the Divisional Round in San Fran, while Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery combined for 169 total yards and a TD in the NFC title game. Hitting paydirt in last year's big game, Pacheco has been very productive in six career playoff games, flipping 112 touches into 543 scrimmage yards and four TDs. Working in both early-down and pass-game situations, Pacheco probably features the safest floor among K.C.'s supporting cast on Super Bowl Sunday.
