Jaylen Watson becomes hero for Chiefs in win vs. Chargers: Revisiting 7th round pick's improbable journey from Wendy's to the NFL Jaylen Watson's 99-yard touchdown was a major part of the Chiefs' win Thursday.
Picks up injury in win Hardman (ankle) caught three of his four targets for 49 yards and recorded one carry for a four-yard loss during Thursday's 27-24 win over the Chargers. He also came away from this...
Impact Hardman was seen having his left foot retaped on Kansas City's sideline after he appeared to leave the field with a slight limp during the second half of Thursday night's game, according to Herbie Teope of The Kansas City Star. The wideout was ultimately able to return and recorded an 11-yard reception on his final pass of the game, thus finishing tied with running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire for the team's second-most targets behind tight end Travis Kelce (seven targets) in Week 2. However, it appears that Hardman is not out of the woods yet, as Chiefs coach Andy Reid mentioned postgame that he was still dealing with an unspecified ankle injury. While his return to the field is an encouraging sign for the wideout's availability moving forward, it will be worth monitoring his status over the team's extended 10-day break heading into Week 3 against the Colts.

Catches first TD since 2019 Watson caught both of his targets for 50 yards and a touchdown during Thursday's 27-24 win over the Chargers, but Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said after the game that the wideout a...
Impact Watson's first catch of the season was a 41-yard strike from Patrick Mahomes that cut the Chiefs' deficit to three. The score marked the veteran wideout's first touchdown since 2019, when he caught 15 passes for 159 yards and two scores -- all career highs -- for the Buccaneers. Watson added a nine-yard catch at the end of the third and was pushed out of bounds by Asante Samuel. It's unclear when Watson picked up the injury, but he'll have 10 days to clear the issue before Kansas City returns to action against Jacksonville on Sept. 25.

Inefficient in Week 2 win Valdes-Scantling brought in two of seven targets for 13 yards in the Chiefs' 27-24 win over the Chargers on Thursday night.
Impact The speedster tied Travis Kelce for the team lead in targets, but as his final line demonstrates, he did little with them. Valdes-Scantling had displayed good chemistry with Patrick Mahomes in Week 1 by hauling in all four of his targets, but with the duo working together for the first time this season, there's bound to be some inefficient weeks as the season unfolds. Valdes-Scantling's first opportunity to bounce back from Thursday's quiet performance comes in a Week 3 road clash with the Colts a week from Sunday.

Three catches in Week 2 win Smith-Schuster brought in all three targets for 10 yards in the Chiefs' 27-24 win over the Chargers on Thursday night.
Impact After producing a solid 6-79 line on eight targets against the Cardinals in his Chiefs debut on Sunday, Smith-Schuster was much quieter four days later. The veteran wideout saw four players log more targets than his three, and he was utilized strictly in a short-area role as his numbers imply. Smith-Schuster's production could well fluctuate a good bit from game to game as Patrick Mahomes enjoys more freedom to spread the ball around with Tyreek Hill no longer part of the air attack, but he'll aim to boost his numbers back up against the Colts in a Week 3 road contest.

Garners 118 total yards in win Edwards-Helaire rushed eight times for 74 yards and brought in all four targets for 44 yards in the Chiefs' 27-24 win over the Chargers on Thursday night.
Impact Edwards-Helaire made several impressive plays in the passing game and then ripped off a game-long 52-yard run while also drawing a 15-yard face mask penalty on the first play of the Chiefs' penultimate possession to help set up a critical field goal. The third-year back has just 15 carries through two games, but with those totes netting 116 yards and another 77 yards and a pair of scores through the air, Edwards-Helaire has still afforded fantasy managers meaningful production. He'll aim to keep churning out strong numbers in a Week 3 road clash with the Colts a week from Sunday.
SEPTEMBER 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Team-leading five grabs in win Kelce brought in five of seven targets for 51 yards in the Chiefs' 27-24 win over the Chargers on Thursday night.
Impact Kelce had lit up the Chargers for 17 receptions, 295 yards and two touchdowns in two games last season, so expectations were naturally high coming into Thursday night. Kelce paced Kansas City in receptions and receiving yards and shared the team lead in targets on the night, also coming within a couple of yards of the end zone late in the third quarter when Derwin James stopped him in his tracks. Nevertheless, the performance was modest by the perennial Pro Bowler's lofty standards. Kelce will look to get back closer to his Week 1 numbers (8-121-1) when the Chiefs face the Colts on the road in Week 3 a week from Sunday.

Impact Mahomes' yardage total left plenty to be desired from a fantasy standpoint, particularly after his breakout 360-yard Week 1 effort. However, the star signal-caller turned in a solid performance in which he managed to avoid turnovers while completing his pair of scoring tosses to the unlikely duo of Jerick McKinnon and Justin Watson, the latter on a beautiful 41-yard throw across the middle on the run in the third quarter. Mahomes recorded completions to nine different targets overall, and his impeccable ball security was key to allowing the Chiefs to mount a comeback from a 17-7 deficit. Mahomes and his teammates now get some extra time off before a Week 3 road showdown with the Colts a week from Sunday.
