Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Kadarius Toney (hip/personal) continues to deal with injuries over his career. The 25-year-old wideout hasn't played since Week 15 and missed the AFC Championship Game with a hip injury and the birth of his child.
But a return could be on the horizon for Toney in Super Bowl LVIII against the San Francisco 49ers. The Chiefs wide receiver practiced in full last week leading up to the Super Bowl.
So, is Toney still injured? Is he playing in Super Bowl LVIII? Let's dive in and find out.

Kadarius Toney Injury Update for Fantasy Football
Toney has been dealing with this hip issue for quite some time, which has caused him to miss the last six games. He also missed the AFC Championship Game with a personal matter as he welcomed his baby. But that hip injury appears to be fully past the young wide receiver.
He practiced in full last week and was completely taken off the injury report ahead of the Chiefs and 49ers Super Bowl LVIII matchup. Despite being fully healthy, though, there's a chance Toney could see little to no playing time on Sunday after he went on Instagram Live last week and said he wasn't actually hurt.
When asked if Toney could play in the Super Bowl, Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said, "We'll see." The former first-round pick appears to be healthy heading into Sunday, but he might not have a clear path to playing time -- given his recent comments on social media.

Kadarius Toney Fantasy Football Outlook
It remains to be seen if Toney will suit up for Super Bowl LVIII. He could be a healthy scratch, especially after his comments last week, or he could be active and only see limited playing time. That makes Toney a risky option in daily fantasy sports (DFS) contests this weekend.
Even when healthy this year, Toney hasn't seen a ton of playing time. He hasn't played more than 45% of the team's offensive snaps in any contest this season and only has one game over 27 receiving yards.

However, if he does play in Super Bowl LVIII, the Chiefs could get creative with Toney. The 25-year-old wideout scored in last year's Super Bowl on a five-yard play, so he could be useful in goal-line packages. But he's just too risky to trust in your lineups due to his potential limited playing time if active.
