Kansas City Chiefs

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.

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce is saving his best for last this postseason. Kelce has significantly upped each of his catches per game (7.7), yards per reception (11.4), catch rate (85.2%), yards per route run (2.59), and touchdown rate (13.0%) from the regular season. The 34-year-old future Hall of Famer participates in his fourth career Super Bowl on Sunday in Las Vegas against the San Francisco 49ers, who allowed the fourth-fewest fantasy points per game (9.92) to opposing TEs in the regular year. But Tucker Kraft found the end zone during the Divisional Round in San Fran, while Sam LaPorta tagged the Niners for nine catches and 97 yards in the NFC Championship game. Kelce looks to be the latest to victimize them in the big game, and he's recorded 22 receptions for 257 yards and two scores in three lifetime Super Bowl appearances. Additionally, Kelce owns 28 catches for 375 yards and one TD in four career outings at Allegiant Stadium.

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes embarks on his fourth career Super Bowl appearance on Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers. In three Super Bowls, Mahomes has thrown for 738 yards, five touchdowns, four interceptions, and a 79.7 passer rating. Since Allegiant Stadium opened in 2020, it's almost been a home away from home for Mahomes. For what it's worth, the two-time MVP has accumulated 1,254 yards, 10 TDs, one interception, and a 115.9 passer rating in four lifetime contests at the venue. When these teams last met in late October of 2022, Mahomes diced up San Fran for 423 yards and three scores with one pick. With that said, the Niners have given up the fifth-fewest yards per attempt (5.9) and third-fewest points per game (18.4) to date this year, and they were tied for the most interceptions (22) during the regular season. Mahomes has topped 20 fantasy points only once since Week 7 and is a bet-on-talent DFS wager as he looks to hoist his third Lombardi Trophy in the big game.

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.
