Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Kadarius Toney has not had the breakout season many fantasy managers and DFS gamers had hoped for, but he remains on the fantasy radar simply because he is in Patrick Mahomes' offense. He scored a touchdown in last year's Super Bowl victory, so the team won't completely shy away from him in the NFL playoffs.
However, Toney missed last week's game against the Miami Dolphins and is still dealing with an injury, so his status for Sunday is uncertain.
Will Toney play against the Buffalo Bills in the AFC Divisional Round? How does his availability affect other Chiefs' pass-catchers? Let's dive in.

Is Kadarius Toney Injured or Playing In The Divisional Round?
Toney (ankle, hip) was listed as questionable for the Divisional Round playoff game on Sunday against the Buffalo Bills on Friday's final injury report, but he was downgraded to out on Saturday. Toney was limited in practice all week but will now miss his fifth straight game.
If the Chiefs advance to the AFC Championship next weekend, it remains to be seen if Toney will be available. If he is, he won't be high on the fantasy radar for DFS gamers, as the former first-rounder had just 27 catches on 38 targets for 169 yards and one touchdown in 13 games in his first full season for KC in 2023.
That said, he's a cheap DFS option that could benefit from unique play designs from Andy Reid and company, so his potential status for next week is still worth monitoring.
Chiefs' Wide Receivers Fantasy Football Outlook
Rashee Rice has established himself as the second option in the target pecking order behind Travis Kelce, but Toney's absence means continued opportunities for Justin Watson, Mecole Hardman Jr., and Marquez Valdes-Scantling.
It's difficult to know which of the three wideouts has the best chance of producing a big game in this spot against Buffalo, so all three are on the DFS radar as budget-friendly dart throws.
