KANSAS CITY CHIEFS NEWS

Little production sans JuJu, Hardman Moore was targeted once and recorded a six-yard reception across his 15 snaps on offense in Sunday's 27-17 loss to the Jaguars.

Impact The absence of Mecole Hardman (abdomen) and the early exit of JuJu Smith-Schuster (concussion) didn't yield more playing time for Moore, whose 24 percent offensive snap share matched his mark from the Week 9 win over the Titans. Rather than Moore, it was Justin Watson (45 snaps) and Kadarius Toney (28 snaps) who saw the biggest spikes in playing time among the Kansas City wideouts. In addition to losing reps at receiver to Toney, Moore also yielded punt-return duties to the trade-deadline pickup after a string of miscues on special teams in recent weeks.

Gets big snap count Week 10 Watson turned his lone target into a 12-yard reception in Sunday's 27-17 win over the Jaguars.

Impact With Mecole Hardman (abdomen) inactive for the Week 10 contest and with JuJu Smith-Schuster (concussion) exiting early, Watson played a season-high 45 snaps on offense (73 percent share). That snap count actually handily outpaced Kadarius Toney (28, 45 percent) for third among Kansas City wideouts, but Toney (four receptions for 57 yards and a touchdown, two carries for 33 yards) was far more involved than Watson. Given how Toney was able to capitalize on his touches, it wouldn't be surprising if his snap count surpassed Watson's in Week 11 against the Chargers, regardless of the statuses of Hardman and Smith-Schuster.

Hits paydirt in Week 10 Gray recorded two receptions for 20 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-17 win over the Jaguars.

Impact Quarterback Patrick Mahomes found both of his top two tight ends for scores in the Week 10 victory, as Travis Kelce also cashed in with a seven-yard touchdown grab late in the third quarter. Kelce remains locked in as the Chiefs' top pass catcher and arguably the best fantasy tight end, but Gray often shares the field with him and has held a consistent, albeit low-upside role within the Kansas City offense. In the Chiefs' nine games, Gray's offensive snap share has ranged between 41 and 57 percent, and he's drawn between one and three targets in each of those contests.

Plays two snaps on offense Burton lost one yard on his lone carry in Sunday's 27-17 win over the Jaguars.

Impact Burton remains a core special-teams contributor for the Chiefs, but as the lone fullback on the roster, he typically takes on only a light role on offense. He hasn't played more than nine offensive snaps in any game this season and has just six touches through his nine appearances.

No field-goal tries in Week 10 Butker went 3-for-4 on point-after tries during Sunday's 27-17 win versus Jacksonville.

Impact Butker left both a point and a fantasy point on the board with his missed PAT, but it would have been a disappointing fantasy showing either way, mainly because the Chiefs never attempted a field goal when in scoring range. It's not exactly a case of going for it on fourth either; the Chiefs have gone for it on fourth just eight times in nine games, tying for the sixth-fewest fourth-down attempts in the NFL. Butker has attempted at least one field goal in every other game, and the early odds peg the Chiefs-Chargers as one of the highest-score contests next week, so Butker should have an excellent chance to bounce back.

Nabs another six passes McKinnon posted one rush for two yards and caught six of eight targets for 56 yards during Sunday's 27-17 win versus Jacksonville.

Impact McKinnon reeled in six passes for a second consecutive week, though the production came on fewer than half the total snaps of 57 he played last week versus the Titans. Regardless, McKinnon has been targeted 16 times in the last pair of games, becoming one of Patrick Mahomes' favorite options in the passing game, tying JuJu Smith-Schuster for the second-most targets in the last two weeks behind Travis Kelce. However, he hasn't rushed the ball more than three times in any of the previous four games, has just one touchdown all season and hadn't reeled in more than three passes in a game before the last two. So, McKinnon's output can vary widely, and his primary value comes in PPR formats.

Eight tackles Sunday Bolton logged eight tackles (five solo) during Sunday's 27-17 victory versus the Jaguars.

Impact Bolton played 100 percent of the Chiefs' defensive snaps for the fifth time in nine games. The 22-year-old also tied fellow linebacker Willie Gay as the team's leading tacklers Sunday. Bolton has now logged a team-high 81 tackles to go along with two sacks this season, and he'll have a chance to come away with yet another productive outing this coming Sunday against the Chargers.

Fills stat sheet in win Gay recorded eight tackles (six solo), including one sack, and a pass defended during Sunday's 27-17 win over the Jaguars.

Impact Gay logged his first solo sack of 2022 as he brought down Jacksonville quarterback Trevor Lawrence at the line of scrimmage early in the third quarter. Despite only playing 67 percent of the team's defensive snaps, the 24-year-old tied fellow linebacker Nick Bolton for a team high in tackles. Gay has now totaled 37 stops (21 solo), 1.5 sacks and three passes defended over five games this season, and he should continue to play a prominent role against the Chargers this coming Sunday.

Returns from suspension Clark's two-game suspension for violating the NFL's personal conduct policy was lifted by commissioner Roger Goodell on Monday, Charles Goodman of USA Today reports.

Impact Clark will not count against the Chiefs' 53-man roster limit thanks to a roster exemption given to the team by commissioner Goodell, though he figures to be activated sometime ahead of Sunday's game against the Chargers. The eighth-year defensive recorded 15 tackles, including three sacks, over the first seven games of the season, and he should reprise his starting role moving forward. Clark's return should help bolster Kansas City's deep corps of pass rushers alongside Carlos Dunlap and Chris Jones.

Takes season-low four snaps in win Edwards-Helaire played a season-low four snaps and didn't log a carry while failing to haul in either of his targets in Sunday's 27-17 win over the Jaguars.

Impact For the third game in a row, Edwards-Helaire ceded the start at running back to Isiah Pacheco, but Sunday marked the first time the latter took on anything resembling a starter's workload. With Pacheco getting off to a nice start to Sunday's game, head coach Andy Reid relied on him more heavily, with the Rutgers product finishing with 16 carries for 82 yards while playing 56 percent of the snaps. Edwards-Helaire, meanwhile, nearly fell out of the game plan entirely, while Jerick McKinnon (37 percent snap share, six receptions for 56 yards on eight targets) retained a role as the Chiefs' primary passing-down back. Given that Pacheco's strong outing perhaps only further solidified him as the Chiefs' top option on early downs, Edwards-Helaire looks like he could find himself third in the pecking order for snaps out of the backfield moving forward.
