Justin Fields, Could Dynasty Managers See One More Sell Window for Justin Fields?
The Kansas City Chiefs sent a 2027 sixth-round pick to the New York Jets to acquire quarterback Justin Fields at the start of the league year, and the former first-round pick could be the team's Week 1 starter if Patrick Mahomes is not yet fully recovered from the ACL tear that cost him the final three weeks of the 2025 season. Now playing for his fourth team in as many years, Fields has been a massive disappointment by NFL standards, but his rushing upside has made him a legitimate fantasy week-winner at almost every stop. With one year remaining on the $40 million deal he signed with the Jets, what he's able to show in relief of Mahomes becomes all the more significant before hitting the open market again in 2027. For dynasty managers who have held Fields this long, the opening weeks of the season could be the final chance to recoup anything of value for RotoBaller's QB35.

Xavier Worthy, Xavier Worthy a Buy-Low Candidate for Dynasty Managers Following NFL Draft?
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy turned in an underwhelming season in 2025, recording 42 receptions for 532 yards and a touchdown on 73 targets across 14 games. Despite abundant target-earning opportunities in Kansas City for much of the season, Worthy's numbers fell across the board from his rookie year in 2024. Due to his poor performance, Worthy's dynasty value is declining heading into 2026. However, the Chiefs have yet to make notable changes to their pass-catching group this offseason. Kansas City used a fifth-round pick on University of Cincinnati wide receiver Cyrus Allen, but he's unlikely to play a significant role as a rookie. As a result, Worthy should have plenty of chances to put together a bounce-back campaign in 2026. While Worthy's NFL production to this point does not inspire a ton of confidence, dynasty managers may want to consider buying low on him given his expected role in Kansas City.

Garrett Nussmeier, Chiefs Draft Garrett Nussmeier With 249th Overall Pick
The Kansas City Chiefs have selected LSU quarterback prospect Garrett Nussmeier with the 249th overall pick in the seventh round of the 2026 NFL Draft. Nussmeier was widely projected as a Day 2 pick throughout the offseason, so to see him still on the board within the final 10 selections was quite surprising. He racked up 4,052 passing yards, 29 passing touchdowns, and 12 interceptions in 2024, but his statistics regressed in 2025 as he was limited to just nine games. In addition to the stats, part of the reason for his late selection was a medical concern that emerged in the pre-draft process, as Nussmeier was diagnosed with a spinal cyst pressing on a nerve. His tumble down the draft board ultimately ends with the Chiefs, who will bring him in as a developmental depth option. Patrick Mahomes II (knee) might not be ready for Week 1, so while Justin Fields is the early favorite to start the season opener, Nussmeier could have a small chance to go in and compete with the former Jets signal caller.

Cyrus Allen, Chiefs Select Cyrus Allen With 176th Pick
The Kansas City Chiefs have selected Cincinnati wide receiver Cyrus Allen with the 176th overall pick in the fifth round of the 2026 NFL Draft. Allen began his collegiate career at Louisiana Tech before transferring to Texas A&M and then to Cincinnati. In his lone season with the Bearcats, he led the team with 49 receptions, 661 yards, and 12 touchdowns. Allen is an undersized slot receiver who wins with quickness, and he was one of the standouts at this year's Senior Bowl. In Kansas City, he joins a receiver room with a lot of overlapping skillsets, which could make it hard for him to find the field in any meaningful way as a rookie.

Emmett Johnson, Chiefs Bolster Backfield With Emmett Johnson in the Fifth Round
The Kansas City Chiefs have selected Nebraska running back prospect Emmett Johnson with the 161st overall pick in the fifth round of the 2026 NFL Draft. Johnson was widely regarded as one of the top running backs available on Day 3, mostly because of his ability to join any system and take on an immediate role in the passing game. He had 46 catches, 370 receiving yards, and three receiving touchdowns at school last year, so we wouldn't be surprised if he consistently gets onto the field on third down. There's significant receiving upside here, but Johnson is a proven ball-carrier, too. He led the Big 10 in carries (251) and rushing yards (1,451) last year. With that said, the Chiefs signed Kenneth Walker III to a large contract this offseason, so Johnson's short-term ceiling on early downs is likely a change-of-pace back. Most of his short-term value will come in PPR leagues, as he might be able to carve out a steady receiving role on third downs.
