Chiefs WR JuJu Smith-Schuster (hamstring) won't play in Week 8

Pro Football Talk

Oct 21, 2024 · 1:47 PM EDT

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.

Fantasy Impact:

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.

Rapoport: Chiefs WR Rashee Rice's (LCL) season 'expected to be over'

Chiefs receiver Rashee Rice will have surgery on Tuesday to determine the extent of the knee injury that he suffered eight days ago. Via multiple reports, he got some good news on Monday.

Via Ian Rapoport of NFL Media, Rice might have avoided a torn ACL. He nevertheless needs to have an LCL repair.

As Rapoport characterizes it, Rice’s season “is expected to be over.” Separately, Rapoport says that Rice could miss “potentially three months” due to the LCL repair. That timeline would not end his season.

Fantasy Impact:

The news is starting to get a little more clear for Rice. Best case seems to be a return for the playoffs in three months. As the story said, Rice has eight felony accounts lurking. Florio went on to say that now that Rice will be sidelined due to injury, it makes sense to resolve the charges and take the suspension this year. While he would still lose his game checks, he would not lose the ability to play any more games than the injury will cause him to miss, the story pointed out.

Chiefs WR Rashee Rice officially hits IR

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

Related Players: Xavier Worthy, Mecole Hardman, Juju Smith-Schuster, Travis Kelce, Justin Watson

Fantasy Impact:

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.

Chiefs WR Hollywood Brown placed on IR

The Chiefs are placing WR Marquise "Hollywood" Brown on IR, and he will undergo surgery to repair his dislocated SC joint. After multiple imaging studies, it was determined that, although Hollywood felt better, his injury was not healing correctly. Without corrective surgery, he would risk a more serious long-term injury.

The surgery is scheduled for Monday with Dr. Peter Millett in Vail, CO, and the Chiefs will monitor his rehab progress throughout the season.

Related Players: Rashee Rice, Xavier Worthy, Justin Watson

Fantasy Impact:

Looks like the coast is clear for rookie Worthy to try to repeat his Week 1 success. For as long as Brown is out, Worthy and Rice can be loaded up into weekly lineups.
