Marquise Brown, Marquise Brown "Making Great Progress"

Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said that wide receiver Marquise Brown (ankle) is still recovering from his left ankld and foot injuries. "He's making great progress," Reid said of Brown. "He's running now." Brown isn't dealing with a high-ankle sprain and is making progress, but he has yet to return to training camp practice with the rest of the team, and it remains to be seen if he'll be cleared to play in the team's second preseason contest this Friday against the Seattle Seahawks. The 28-year-old's status for the start of the 2025 regular season bears watching even more closely with Rashee Rice potentially being suspended for four to six games to begin the year. Brown played in only two regular-season games in 2024 due to a shoulder injury, but he could be the WR2 next to Xavier Worthy in Week 1 if Rice is suspended.

Rashee Rice, Rashee Rice Back at Practice on Monday

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice (groin) is back on the practice field at training camp on Monday. Rice has been dealing with a minor groin injury at camp and was held out of the team's preseason opener on Saturday against the Arizona Cardinals as a result. With Marquise Brown (ankle) also held out due to a minor injury, it allowed Xavier Worthy and JuJu Smith-Schuster more playing time over the weekend. Rice should be completely healthy for the start of the 2025 regular season, but he's expected to be suspended anywhere from four to six games to begin the year due to legal issues surrounding an off-the-field incident. The 25-year-old figures to be quarterback Patrick Mahomes' favorite target when he's on the field, but a potential suspension to begin the year drops him down to more of a WR3/flex target in fantasy drafts.

Tyquan Thornton, Tyquan Thornton Reps With First-Team Offense, Impressing Chiefs in Training Camp

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyquan Thornton played the first three snaps of the team's first preseason game against the Arizona Cardinals. His usage "should make it clear how much the Chiefs have liked him in camp," according to Jesse Newell of The Athletic. With Marquise Brown (ankle) battling an ankle injury and Rashee Rice (groin) both fighting a groin issue and looking at a likely suspension to open the season, Thornton could have a chance to earn targets in Kansas City. A second-round pick by the New England Patriots in 2022, Thornton has yet to find his footing in the NFL. In 28 games (13 starts) with New England, he logged just 39 receptions for 385 yards and two touchdowns. However, it appears Thornton will be granted a second chance in Kansas City. He could be a name to monitor early in the season, given the team's uncertainty at wide receiver.

Robert Tonyan, Robert Tonyan Leads Chiefs In Receiving

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Robert Tonyan led the team with three catches for 49 yards in the 17-20 loss to the Arizona Cardinals. The former Green Bay Packer was acquired by the Chiefs this offseason and could play a role in the offense this season. Tonyan was a touchdown machine in 2020, hauling in 11 touchdowns while catching passes from Aaron Rodgers. While his fantasy value is capped playing behind Travis Kelce, Tonyan could make himself valuable as a touchdown-scorer. Keep an eye on his usage once the regular season begins.

Carson Steele, Carson Steele Leads Backfield In Preseason Loss

Kansas City Chiefs running back Carson Steele led the running backs with 15 rushing yards in the 17-20 loss to the Arizona Cardinals. Steele was involved in the Kansas City backfield following Isiah Pacheco's early season injury, but ultimately ceded work to Kareem Hunt. Steele will presumably remain third on the depth chart heading into the 2025 season, which means he's best left undrafted in most leagues.
