BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 65% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: The Kansas City Chiefs made a splashy move when they acquired WR Kadarius Toney from the New York Giants last month. It's a trade that's already paying dividends, as Toney scored his first TD as a Chief in last week's win over the Jacksonville Jaguars.
After being eased in with just nine snaps in his Chiefs debut against the Tennessee Titans in Week 9, Toney's role significantly increased in a Week 10 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. The electric receiver hauled in four of five targets for 57 yards and a TD, while also rushing for 33 yards on two carries against the Jags.
Kansas City entered Week 10 without starting receiver Mecole Hardman and then lost their top pass catcher when JuJu Smith-Schuster was knocked out of the game early with a concussion. These circumstances almost forced the Chiefs to utilize Toney, a player that's still new to their system. Currently in the NFL's concussion protocol, we can expect Smith-Schuster to miss at least another week, while Hardman has yet to return to practice as of Wednesday.
This leaves a clear path to an even bigger role for the enigmatic, but dynamic Toney. It is no secret that he should be rostered and in starting lineups in all fantasy leagues ahead of a Week 11 matchup with the Los Angeles Chargers.
