Records second touchdown Fortson turned his lone target into a 10-yard touchdown reception in Sunday's 41-31 win over the Buccaneers.

Impact All three of Kansas City's tight ends finished with touchdowns on the night, as top option Travis Kelce scored on a 16-yard connection with Patrick Mahomes in the first quarter, while Noah Gray took a direct snap for a one-yard score in the second quarter. Fortson then provided the Chiefs' final touchdown of the night in the third quarter, marking the second time he's found the end zone this season. He's now scored on both of his receptions this season, but he's drawn just three targets in total through four games.

Credited with first rushing TD Gray carried once for a one-yard touchdown in Sunday's 41-31 win over the Buccaneers.

Impact Though the tight end couldn't corral his lone target on the night, he found paydirt for the first time this season when he motioned in front of quarterback Patrick Mahomes and plunged across the goal line on a direct snap. All three of the Chiefs' tight ends finished the game with six points, as Travis Kelce and Jody Fortson both recorded receiving touchdowns. Moving forward, Gray and Fortson will likely continue to function mostly as blockers whenever they're on the field.

NFL offensive line rankings: Eagles, Chiefs lead the top five

Targeted once in win Watson failed to secure his lone target in Sunday's 41-31 win over the Buccaneers.

Impact Watson was held without a catch on one target for the second straight week, playing just 14 of the Chiefs' 80 offensive snaps Sunday. With so many mouths to feed in Kansas City, the veteran wideout find himself as an afterthought in the offense behind fellow receivers Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Juju Smith-Schuster, Mecole Hardman and Skyy Moore. Watson should remain out of fantasy lineups when the Chiefs host the Raiders in Week 5.

Catches two passes in win Moore caught two of four targets for 31 yards in Sunday's 41-31 win over the Buccaneers.

Impact Moore played 22 offensive snaps in Week 4, marking his highest total of the season so far. It's possible the Kansas City coaching staff is making an effort to get the rookie more involved as the season goes on, as his playmaking ability would be a great weapon for the Chiefs' high-flying offense. With that said, Moore operated as the team's No. 4 wideout behind Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Juju Smith-Schuster and Mecole Hardman. Quarterback Patrick Mahomes is spreading the ball around to his pass catchers thus far, so Moore's piece of the offensive pie could continue to be limited barring injuries to his fellow receivers. The 22-year-old's increased usage is a promising sign, but he'll likely be difficult to trust for fantasy in a Week 5 matchup with the Raiders.

Catches one pass in win Hardman caught his lone target for four yards in Sunday's 41-31 win over the Buccaneers.

Impact On a day when the Chiefs offense was clicking, Hardman was not a major part of the game plan and saw just one target in the passing game. The veteran wideout operated as the Chiefs' No. 3 receiver, playing behind Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Juju Smith-Schuster while playing 46 percent of the team's offensive snaps. Though the wideout has the ability to make big plays, Hardman's limited opportunities make him hard to trust in a Week 5 matchup with the Raiders.

Quiet in win McKinnon recorded two carries for minus-1 yard and caught his only target for one yard in Sunday's 41-31 win over the Buccaneers.

Impact McKinnon played on just 18 of the Chiefs' 80 offensive snaps and could not make any impact with his three opportunities in the contest. Starter Clyde Edwards-Helaire continued his streak of efficiency, finding the end zone twice. McKinnon and fellow depth running back Isiah Pacheco have been limited in their share of the backfield with Edwards-Helaire playing a much bigger role. It was the rookie Pacheco, however, who provided a spark on offense and looked sharp as a rusher compared to McKinnon. With that said, McKinnon has been used in scoring position on several occasions so far this season, so he has the potential to find the end zone as part of a great offense. With that said, the 30-year-old just isn't seeing enough opportunities to make him a viable fantasy starter. The veteran is best left out of lineups when the Chiefs host the Raiders in Week 5.

OCTOBER 5, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Racks up eight tackles in win Bolton recorded eight tackles (six solo) in Sunday's 41-31 win over the Buccaneers.

Impact The 22-year-old linebacker's eight tackles in Week 4 brings his total up to 37 on the year. What's even more impressive is that Bolton was able to play every single defensive snap Sunday against Tampa Bay, and he'll look to produce another effective outing when the team hosts the Raiders on Monday night.
