Isiah Pacheco

KC Running Back #10

Chiefs RB Isiah Pacheco (ankle) was seen leaving the stadium on crutches and wearing a walking boot.

ESPN’s Jeff Darlington reported Pacheco was set to undergo testing and X-ray imaging, though the test’s scheduled date and time and/or results have yet to be revealed. The injury occurred when Pacheco’s right foot was trapped underneath him as he was tackled from behind via a hit to the back of his knees. We will monitor the situation closely for updates. The 2-0 Chiefs face the Falcons in Week 3, where preseason sensation RB/FB Carson Steele could handle a sizable workload.
Rashee Rice

KC Wide Receiver #4

Rashee Rice caught 5-of-6 targets for 75 yards with a touchdown in the Chiefs’ Week 2 win over the Bengals.

Rice saw most of his targets on short attempts, but he was able to break free down the sideline for a 44-yard touchdown on a perfect throw from Patrick Mahomes. The 24-year-old wideout been a major factor in both games — unsurprisingly — and he’s been able to snag 12-of-15 targets in the first two games. Rice should be able to put up numbers again against the Falcons in Week 3.
Xavier Worthy

KC Wide Receiver #1

Xavier Worthy caught 2-of-4 targets for 17 yards and rushed for five yards on one attempt in the Chiefs’ Week 2 win over the Bengals.

Worthy was unable to match — or even come close to matching — his Week 1 productivity against the Ravens. Some of that has to do with Cam Taylor-Britt, who backed up his talk with a spectacular one-handed interception of Patrick Mahomes on a deep attempt to the rookie wideout. Worthy was third in targets behind Rashee Rice (7) and Isiah Pacheco (5), and should be in the WR3 conversation for Week 3 against the Falcons.
Travis Kelce

KC Tight End #87

Travis Kelce caught 1-of-3 targets for five yards while adding one rush for one yard in the Chiefs’ Week 2 win over the Bengals.

Kelce almost made fantasy managers (relatively) happy with a touchdown on a rushing attempt, but he came just short. The tight end has been a non-factor in the first two games, as he’s been held to 39 years in the first two contests on just seven targets. Kelce did help extend a drive when a defender was called for holding the future Hall of Famer on a pass that was intercepted by the Bengals, but that doesn’t really help fantasy managers, and Mahomes threw a pick a few plays later. Kelce still remains a TE1 based on positional value and previous pedigree for Week 3 against the Falcons.
Samaje Perine

KC Running Back #34

Samaje Perine caught one pass for three yards in the Chiefs’ Week 2 win over the Bengals.

Perine didn’t receive a carry, and the three-yard connection late in the game was the only target. Meanwhile, Carson Steele received seven carries, and his careless fumble didn’t change anything in regards to Perine being involved in the game plan. At least based on this week, it doesn’t appear Perine is going to be a heavily involved in the Chiefs’ plans. He shouldn’t be in lineups for Week 3 against the Falcons.
Carson Steele

KC Running Back #42

Carson Steele rushed seven times for 24 yards with a lost fumble in the Chiefs’ Week 2 win over the Bengals.

Steele was clearly the backup tailback to Isiah Pacheco during Sunday’s tilt, as Samaje Perine touched the ball just one time. That was especially evident even after Steele lost a fumble, as Kansas City still trusted the undrafted rookie with carries late in the contest. Steele is essentially a touchdown-dependent player at this stage, and the question is if he’d have an expanded role if there was to be an injury to Pacheco. He’ll likely see 5-10 carries again in Week 3 against the Falcons.
Isiah Pacheco

KC Running Back #10

Isiah Pacheco rushed 19 times for 90 yards and added five catches for 21 yards in the Chiefs’ Week 1 win over the Bengals.

Pacheco had to battle for his yardage, as he was unable to break through for a gain larger than 11 yards in the contest. He was consistently able to pick up four-plus yards, however, and was a significant — if not dominant — member of the passing game as well. The 25-year-old should be considered a RB1 for most matchups, and that includes Week 3 against the Falcons on Sunday Night Football.
Patrick Mahomes

KC Quarterback #15

Patrick Mahomes completed 18-of-25 passes for 151 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions while rushing for 29 yards on four attempts in the Chiefs’ 26-25 Week 1 win over the Bengals.

Mahomes didn’t see much man coverage, and overthrew Travis Kelce while the Bengals were in zone for his first interception. The second pick was a terrific play from Cam Taylor-Britt on a one-handed stab on a throw to Xavier Worthy. He found Rashee Rice on a dot for a 44-yard touchdown, and found offensive tackle Wanya Morris for the second. The biggest play he made was a 4th-and-16 play near the end of the game where he threw across his body and drew a pass-interference call for Rice that set up the game-winning field goal. A mixed day for Mahomes, but one that showed off his otherworldly talent. He’ll square off against the Falcons on Sunday Night Football in Week 3.
Cameron Thomas

KC Defensive End #99

Chiefs declared DE Cameron Thomas, DT Marlon Tuipulotu, OT Ethan Driskell and OL C.J. Hanson inactive for Week 2 against the Bengals.

Not exactly the most exciting list of inactives. Hollywood Brown (shoulder) was placed on injured reserve earlier in the week, for those that missed that news.
Hollywood Brown

KC Wide Receiver #5

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports Chiefs WR Hollywood Brown (shoulder) “is not expected to play” in 2024.

Brown will be sidelined until at least January after undergoing shoulder surgery. He picked up in the injury in the preseason and was placed on injured reserve this week when the team decided surgery was necessary. Brown, 27, could return for a postseason run barring a rehab setback. Rashee Rice and Xavier Worthy will be KC’s top two receivers for the remainder of the season, with Rice functioning as the team’s clear No. 1 wideout.
