Kansas City Chiefs

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Skyy Moore (knee) will not come off the Injured Reserve to play in Sunday's Divisional Round game versus the Buffalo Bills. Moore returned to practice this week but isn't ready to contribute on offense. The 23-year-old second-year player was a disappointment once again before even getting injured, catching 21 of his 38 targets for 244 yards and the first touchdown of his career in 14 regular season games before getting injured in Week 15. Moore has not played since but could be available as receiver depth for KC if they beat the Bills in Buffalo and advance to another AFC Championship next weekend. Rookie Rashee Rice has become the Chiefs' only reliable pass-catcher for fantasy purposes, outside of tight end Travis Kelce. Justin Watson and Marquez Valdes-Scantling are the starters alongside Rice.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receivers Kadarius Toney (ankle, hip), Skyy Moore (knee) and Justyn Ross (calf) were all limited in practice on Thursday for the second straight day this week. Toney and Moore both last played back in Week 15, so even if both of them are active for the Divisional Round game this Sunday against the Buffalo Bills, they could both be eased back into the offense, thus making them entirely too risky to count on for DFS lineups. Neither pass-catcher was very involved during the regular season when they were healthy anyway, with Toney going for 27 catches, 169 yards and one touchdown in 13 games, while Moore had 21 catches for 244 yards and one touchdown in 14 games. Moore is still on Injured Reserve, so he'll need to be activated on Saturday if the Chiefs want him available on Sunday.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receivers Kadarius Toney (ankle, hip) and Justyn Ross (hamstring) were both listed as limited for the team's first practice of the week on Wednesday. Toney was limited in practice last week but did not play in the wild-card victory over the Miami Dolphins. The 24-year-old has not been active since Week 15, so even if he's able to return to face the Buffalo Bills on Sunday in the Divisional Round, it's likely that he won't see much time on the field as a legitimate offensive threat for the Chiefs. Ross injured his hamstring in the Week 18 regular season finale and was also inactive this past Saturday night. Even more so than Toney, Ross will be off the DFS radar if he's active against Buffalo. The 24-year-old pass-catcher only had six receptions for 53 yards during the regular season.

The Kansas City Chiefs designated wide receiver Skyy Moore (knee) to return from Injured Reserve on Wednesday. It means that Moore can resume practicing with the team, but he won't be active for Sunday's Divisional Round playoff game against the Buffalo Bills unless the Chiefs officially activate him from Injured Reserve by Saturday's deadline. The 23-year-old will have to prove he's healthy enough in practice this week to be activated for Sunday's game, but even if Moore is cleared to play this weekend, it's unlikely that he'll have a big role after being out since Week 15. The second-year wideout wasn't really a big part of KC's offense when he was healthy in 2023, either, catching only 21 of 38 targets for 244 yards and one touchdown in 14 games. Rookie Rashee Rice is the only realistic DFS receiver play for the Divisional Round from the Chiefs. UPDATE: Moore was limited in practice Wednesday.

Kansas City Chiefs rookie wide receiver Rashee Rice averaged only 3.6 air yards per catch during the regular season, which ranked last among 466 receivers with at least 900 yards in a season since at least 2006. But he set a career-high in Week 17 against the Bengals with a 7.6-yard average depth per reception and backed it up with a 6.9-yard average in the win over the Dolphins in the wild-card round. He caught three passes against Miami on passes thrown more than 10 yards past the line of scrimmage -- he made just nine such catches during the regular season. With Rice and quarterback Patrick Mahomes starting to gel down the stretch and into the postseason, it could make their offense much more explosive than it was all year long. Rice's 130 yards against the Dolphins were three more yards than the career-high he set against Cincy in Week 17.
