JuJu Smith-Schuster is the latest Chiefs wide receiver to suffer an injury.

Smith-Schuster was ruled out of Sunday’s win over the 49ers after he hurt his hamstring and head coach Andy Reid told reporters at a Monday press conference that he will not play against the Raiders in Week Eight.

The Chiefs will go with Worthy, Hardman and Moore as their top WRs heading into Week 8, which is a game at the Raiders. The Chiefs are winning games without a dangerous passing attack from Patrick Homes, instead controlling the ball with the run game and relying on their defense. That formula should work against a struggling Raiders team as well.

Chiefs now have placed wide receiver Rashee Rice on injured reserve, meaning he’s out a minimum of four games.

It may be tough to hold Rice on your bench for a month, but he needs to be held on to in most league sizes. Kelce and Worthy figure to get the biggest bump, but keep an eye on the usage of the other ancillary pieces here in Week 5.

“Yeah, it’s crazy because teams still — the respect factor they have for Travis Kelce is just unreal,” quarterback Patrick Mahomes said after Sunday’s 22-17 victory over the Falcons. “It’s well-deserved, but we’re calling a lot of plays for Travis, and it’s like two or three people are going to him. So, I mean, he understands."

Through three games, Kelce has just eight catches on 12 targets for 69 yards. While it’s been just three games it’s still a significant dip in production for the veteran tight end. His 8.6 yards per reception is well off his career average of 12.5 — or even last year’s mark of 10.6. His 2.7 receptions per game is way off last year’s 6.2, the story said. Mahomes did point out the attention Kelce is getting is freeing up other players, especially Rashee Rice who has been the Chiefs fantasy star so far this season.

Travis Kelce turns 35 in October and acknowledged he's a lot closer to the end of his football career than the beginning. But he said he's not planning on 2024 being his final season.

"I love coming to work every single day and doing this, so I am going to do it until the wheels fall off and hopefully that doesn't happen anytime soon,'' Kelce said after the Kansas City Chiefs' minicamp practice Tuesday.

Kansas City has added insurance here and there over the years since their offense is so TE-friendly, but as long as Kelce is on the field he is going to be a driving force to the team. His regular season workload could very well decline, but that still makes him a huge asset in fantasy.

Bengals free-agent tight end Irv Smith Jr. reached agreement a one-year deal with the Kansas City Chiefs.

Cincinnati seemed like a positive landing spot for Smith last season but fantasy goodness did not come to fruition. This impacts Noah Gray dynasty shares more than it does Travis Kelce's immediate outlook.

Chiefs TE Travis Kelce (ankle) is trending upwards and should play tonight barring a setback. Meanwhile, RB Javonte Williams (quad) is set to return for the Broncos.

Kelce should clearly be played in all lineups in all formats if he is good to go tonight. Even if he is limited, he still has the ceiling to finish the week as the TE1.

The Chiefs list Travis Kelce, George Karlaftis, and Tommy Townsend as questionable for tomorrow vs the Broncos. It does seem like Kelce is in a good position to play, but we’ll see what tomorrow brings.

Teams with deep benches should make sure that Gray is not sitting on waiver wires, but it seems like Kelce will probably be out there for Week 6.

Chiefs’ HC Andy Reid said Travis Kelce (ankle) will practice today.

Kelce was listed as DNP for Monday's estimated session. Kelce is rumored to have a low ankle sprain. He was able to return in Week 5, and at least at this point, his status looks encouraging heading into Week 6, which is a Thursday night game against Denver.

The Chiefs listed TE Travis Kelce (ankle) as did not participate on their estimated injury report.

It's a Thursday night game against Denver. Kelce, of course, suffered what is believed to be a low ankle sprain in Week 5. While he left the game, he did come back to action, which hopefully bodes well for Kelce's chances in Week 6.

Chiefs TE Travis Kelce suffered a low-ankle sprain during Sunday's win over the Vikings.

Kelce left for part of the game but was able to return to score a touchdown in helping the Chiefs notch a 27-20 win to move to 4-1, their 4th straight win since the Opening Night loss to the Lions. His touchdown, which wound up being the game-winner, will be another Picture to Burn for the Vikings, who fall to 1-4. So for all of us who were worried it was a serious injury, looks like we can say "You Need to Calm Down".
