Kansas City Chiefs DVOA, Stats, & NFL Rankings

Kansas City Chiefs wide receivers Kadarius Toney (ankle, hip) and Justyn Ross (hamstring) were both listed as questionable for Saturday's wild-card playoff game against the visiting Miami Dolphins. Toney was limited in practice all week, while Ross was limited on Wednesday and Thursday. With rookie Rashee Rice (hamstring) returning this weekend, it's hard to get behind any of KC's other pass-catchers despite an excellent matchup against the banged-up Dolphins defense. Toney missed the team's last three regular season games. He's trending up toward a return to face Miami, but we'd be surprised if the oft-injured Toney was a big part of the Chiefs' offense in this one. If active, the 24-year-old Ross probably won't see the field all that much. He had only six receptions for 53 yards and no scores in 10 games in 2023.

Cleveland Browns running back Kareem Hunt (groin) missed practice to start the week but was upgraded to a limited session on Wednesday and practiced fully on Thursday as he gears up to face off against the Houston Texans in the first round of the NFL playoffs on Saturday. Hunt is listed without an injury designation heading into Saturday and should be fresh after seeing just one touch in a Week 18 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. The Texans represent a tough matchup for Hunt as they allowed just the 19th-most fantasy points per game to opposing running backs in the regular season. Hunt has been very touchdown-dependent as a fantasy asset this season and will need to find the end zone again this weekend to return value in DFS contests. He's on the radar as a low-end RB2 for weekend slates.

After putting in three full practices this week, Kansas City Chiefs rookie wide receiver Rashee Rice (hamstring) was removed from the final injury report and will play on Saturday evening in his first career postseason contest against the Miami Dolphins. The 23-year-old was held out of the Week 18 win over the Los Angeles Chargers as a precaution but will return this weekend to be quarterback Patrick Mahomes' most trusted aerial weapon besides tight end Travis Kelce. Rice is reasonably priced on DraftKings this weekend at a salary of $6,600 and has one of the better matchups during wild-card weekend for a receiver going up against a Dolphins defense that has been absolutely bombarded by injuries over the last several weeks.

Cleveland Browns running backs Pierre Strong Jr. (back) and Kareem Hunt (groin) were both listed as limited at the team's practice on Wednesday. Both players were non-participants on Tuesday's report, but they both returned on Wednesday. Strong, who has been an infrequently used No. 3 RB for the Browns, could be questionable to suit up for Saturday's wild-card playoff game against the Houston Texans. Hunt, meanwhile, has been managing a groin injury in recent weeks but hasn't missed any time, so he should be available for wild-card weekend. The 28-year-old has been a change-of-pace option for Cleveland next to Jerome Ford this year after Nick Chubb (knee) suffered a season-ending knee injury early in the year. Hunt will be a low-cost, low-upside, touchdown-dependent DFS play against the Texans.

Kansas City Chiefs rookie wide receiver Rashee Rice (hamstring) put in a second straight day with a full practice on Wednesday after the Chiefs held him out of the Week 18 regular season finale against the Los Angeles Chargers as a precaution. The 23-year-old probably could have played last week, but the Chiefs chose to hold their leading receiver out in a meaningless game. He'll return for this Saturday's wild-card contest versus the visiting Miami Dolphins and their beat up defense. Rice will be pretty attractive at his $6,600 DraftKings price as quarterback Patrick Mahomes' top target (besides Travis Kelce). The Dolphins will be without cornerback Xavien Howard (foot) and potentially two of their safeties as well for this one.
