Chiefs | Isiah Pacheco bulked up Mon Jun 2, 12:48 AM
Kansas City Chiefs RB Isiah Pacheco said he added muscle this offseason and is back up to 216 pounds.
| Footballguys view: Pacheco started last season with 15 carries in Week 1 and 19 carries in Week 2 before suffering a broken leg. Upon his return, he never eclipsed 14 rushing attempts, and he amassed just 175 yards with no scores over his final five regular-season games. Pacheco's explosiveness and efficiency were stunted, and the Chiefs noticed. The team didn't hand off to him more than five times in any of its three playoff games. If a bulked-up Pacheco can regain past momentum, his current RB29 ADP will be a great value. |
Chiefs | Travis Kelce rejuvenated Fri May 30, 11:14 AM
Kansas City Chiefs TE Travis Kelce looks like he feels better than he did at the start of last season, according to QB Patrick Mahomes. 'He's in here,' Mahomes said. 'He's working. I know his body feels good. I think he feels better than even last year before going into last season. I think he's motivated to go out there and have an even better year than he had this last.''If it's the last ride, you would never know,' Mahomes said. 'The way he's talking about football. The way he's talking about working and trying to be even better this year than he was last year. He doesn't seem like a guy like it's his last ride, like he's tired of the job.'
| Footballguys view: Kelce didn't look like himself in 2024, and we wonder how much he has left in the tank. Even as an older player, Kelce still has plenty of fantasy value. With the quality of the Chiefs offense and the volume of targets he should still be in line for, Kelce could catch around 80-85 passes and finish as a top-10 fantasy tight end. |

Chiefs | Isiah Pacheco catching Andy Reid's eye Thu May 29, 03:09 PM
Kansas City Chiefs RB Isiah Pacheco 'looks tremendous right now,' according to head coach Andy Reid.
| Footballguys view: Pacheco had an injury-plagued 2024 and ended up in a timeshare with Kareem Hunt. If back to full strength, Pacheco brings plenty of power and speed to the Chiefs backfield. Hunt is back on a one-year deal, and the Chiefs spent a late-round pick on a converted receiver in SMU's Brashard Smith. We'll see how this backfield shapes up in training camp, but expect Pacheco and Hunt to split time. |
Chiefs | Rashee Rice a no-go on Thursday Thu May 29, 02:21 PM
Kansas City Chiefs WR Rashee Rice (knee) was absent from practice on Thursday, May 29, due to an illness and not because of a setback with his knee, according to coach Andy Reid.
| Footballguys view: Fantasy GMs will be monitoring Rice closely during training camp and the preseason. First, it's because of the upside Rice has in this offense. Second, it's because of this knee injury he suffered last year in Week 4. At OTAs on Thursday, Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes said Rice looks like himself and has 'no limitations.' |

Link to story Chiefs | Brashard Smith draws flattering comp Mon May 19, 02:59 PM
Kansas City Chiefs seventh-round draft choice Brashard Smith (Southern Methodist) is 'an Alvin Kamara clone with 4.3 speed,' according to ESPN's Louis Riddick.
| Footballguys view: In case you missed it, Kamara was named the NFL Rookie of the Year, a Pro Bowler in his first five NFL seasons, and a two-time second-team All-Pro. He became the Saints' All-Time leading rusher. Meanwhile, as suggested in the Footballguys Rookie Draft Guide Version 3.0, a seventh-round pick will not merit much attention in usual circumstances. But the Chiefs already hit gold on Isiah Pacheco in a similar situation. Beyond that, Smith landed in the perfect situation to make an impact, considering he will play with Patrick Mahomes and be coached by Andy Reid, one of the greatest offensive innovators ever. We shouldn't get carried away in redraft leagues, but Smith is a reasonably-priced investment in Dynasty leagues and a free-square play in best-ball formats. |
Chiefs | Jalen Royals could fill Rashee Rice-type role Sat May 17, 11:09 AM
Kansas City Chiefs director of player personnel Ryne Nutt said that the organization views rookie WR Jalen Royals fulfilling a similar role in 2025 to the one filled by WR Rashee Rice (knee) last season. Nutt said that his run-after-catch ability is one of his strong suits but added that his route running is an area where he needs to continue developing.
| Footballguys view: Royals was a fourth-round pick of the Chiefs coming out of Utah State in this year's draft. He's capable of taking short passes and turning them into long gains. Royals should be able to help move the chains, especially with QB Patrick Mahomes finding him on time and on target. The rookie has talent, but he's buried on the depth chart and likely competing for the no.4 spot with JuJu Smith-Schuster. |

Link to story Chiefs | Patrick Mahomes took too much abuse in 2024 Fri May 16, 12:25 AM
Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes absorbed a league-high 70 hits during the 2024 regular season, according to Pro Football Reference.
| Footballguys view: The Chiefs need to do a much better job of protecting the superstar quarterback. Mahomes said he wants to "try to get back to some of the explosive passing plays that we've done in years past." In order to do that, Mahomes needs time to throw on those downfield plays. They did select Ohio State OT Josh Simmons at the end of the first round, and he could be part of the solution the Chiefs need up front. |
