There are a lot of questions about the Kansas City Chiefs entering tonight’s AFC Championship game with the Cincinnati Bengals. Will they lose four games to the Bengals, including back-to-back AFC Championship home games? Is Patrick Mahomes healthy?

However, the biggest question? Can the Chiefs offense reach the Super Bowl without Tyreek Hill?  

Today’s focus is on a player who most NFL fans have forgotten about. He was drafted by the Giants in the first round of the 2021 NFL Draft yet failed to provide consistent production. He battled injuries and poor performances and was traded to Kansas City in late-October for two conditional draft picks. However, his recent production with the Chiefs have all signs pointing to a possible breakout in the biggest game of the season. The conference championship is the perfect time to invest in Kansas City wide receiver Kadarius Toney.  

Mojo is a whole new pure sports investment — on the entire career of an athlete. The share price is the public’s expectations for a player’s career based on six objective stats. A player’s value can also be affected by the result of a single game.

Here’s why I’m grabbing up Mojo shares of Toney prior to Sunday’s AFC Championship matchup. 

Kadarius Toney, WR, Kansas City

There was consistent praise for Kadarius Toney coming from the Chiefs coaching staff this week. Head coach Andy Reid and offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy both mentioned how a dynamic skill set like Toney’s increases the upside of this offense. 

Besides All-Pro tight end Travis Kelce, the Chiefs have failed to establish a consistent receiving option for quarterback Patrick Mahomes. The offseason acquisitions of JuJu Smith-Schuster and Marquez Valdes-Scantling haven’t served as a suitable replacement for the dominance of former Chiefs wideout Tyreek Hill.

The Chiefs need a big game from Toney to overcome their struggles against Cincinnati. Kansas City has found creative ways to get him the ball over the last few weeks, and his impact has increased. Toney has seen four or more targets in two of the past three contests with a season-high of seven targets last week against Jacksonville. His 4.4 speed and elite burst is still dangerous, and he appears to be fully recovered from a nagging hamstring injury that lingered throughout the season. 

Toney’s price on Mojo is also very enticing. The disappointment in his rookie season has frustrated investors, putting his stock price at a very affordable $6.83 per share. 

Toney’s price has slightly increased over the past month and could quickly exceed $7 per share with a big performance in an AFC Championship game win by the Chiefs. 

Kansas City and Toney have all the motivation for a big game on Sunday. Kelce has always been limited by Cincinnati, putting a spotlight on the other Chiefs playmakers. Smith-Schuster does not have the explosion, and Valdes-Scantling isn’t reliable. Toney is primed for a huge role, and it’s now the perfect chance for savvy investors to capitalize on his bargain-basement price. 

I’m already grabbing Toney shares with a 5X multiplier at Mojo. The risk is minimal, but the reward is huge.
