Smith-Schuster got back into a groove with Mahomes last week, catching nine passes and finding the endzone for the first time since Week 7. The Chiefs could be run-heavy in this game, but this is an Andy Reid offense. I’d say Smith-Schuster is a WR3 with WR2 upside.
Despite Mahomes airing it out 42 times last week, Valdes-Scantling caught just one pass. Even though he’s a deep threat, Valdes-Scantling struggles with drops and is a non-factor when it comes to getting into the endzone. He shouldn’t be in any lineups this week.
Toney has missed the last three games with a hamstring injury and is questionable for this game. It seems pretty iffy that he’ll play considering he didn’t log a full practice this week. If he does play, he’ll likely be on a pitch count, making him too risky to be in your lineup.
Hardman is expected to be out this for this game, but the good news is that he practiced all week and seems to be on track to play next week against the Seattle Seahawks. He’s worth a roster stash for the final few weeks of the season.
