Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Kadarius Toney was the 20th overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft by the New York Giants. Toney had a solid college career, totaling 120 receptions for 1,590 receiving yards and 12 touchdowns in four years at Florida. He also had 66 rushing attempts for 580 yards and two touchdowns in college.
More importantly, the former Gator had a rocky rookie season. He had 39 receptions on 57 targets for 420 receiving yards and zero touchdowns in 2021. Furthermore, the rookie missed seven games because of injuries.
Last year, Toney split time between the Giants and Chiefs. He had only two receptions on three targets for zero receiving yards in two games with the Giants. Meanwhile, the former Gator had three receptions on seven targets for 17 receiving yards and two touchdowns in seven games with the Chiefs. Yet, fantasy players had high hopes for him in 2023.

Is Kadarius Toney Playing In Week 3?
Toney suffered a knee injury in training camp, putting his Week 1 status in doubt. However, the third-year receiver played in Week 1 and Week 2, totaling six receptions for 10 receiving yards and zero touchdowns.
Unfortunately, he suffered a toe injury against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 2. The former Gator didn’t practice on Wednesday or Thursday. However, Toney was a limited participant in Friday’s practice. Kansas City has listed the third-year receiver as questionable for tomorrow’s matchup against the Chicago Bears.
Should I Pickup And Start Justyn Ross Or Marquez Valdes-Scantling?
It sounds like he will be a game-time decision. However, fantasy players should prepare for the former Gator to miss the game. Ross, Valdes-Scantling, and Rashee Rice will see more snaps and targets on Sunday if Tony can’t play.
However, all three aren’t worthy starters in Week 3. Instead, fantasy players should check their waive wire for Tank Dell. The rookie wide receiver is rostered in under 25% of ESPN leagues.
Last week, the former Houston Cougar had seven receptions on 10 targets for 72 receiving yards and a touchdown against the Indianapolis Colts, scoring 16.7 fantasy points. He finished second on the team in snap share (79%) and routes run (45). The rookie led the team in targets (10).
More importantly, C.J. Stroud has 91 pass attempts, the third-most in the NFL over the first two weeks. The Texans will be in negative game script most of this game, creating plenty of opportunities for Dell to score fantasy points.
