Clyde Edwards-Helaire - Cleared for practice Edwards-Helaire (illness) is returning to practice this week and should be available for games soon, NFL Network's Ian Rapaport reports.
Impact Edwards-Helaire didn't get much playing time outside of blowouts or clear passing situations last season, but he may take on a larger role now that Isiah Pacheco (fibula) is on injured reserve and likely out until at least November. The Chiefs otherwise have Kareem Hunt, Samaje Perine and Carson Steele as their backfield options ahead of Monday's game against New Orleans, giving Edwards-Helaire a chance to mix in immediately if everything checks out in practice this week.

Rashee Rice - Optimism from Patrick Mahomes Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes said Wednesday that he hopes Rice (knee) can return soon, Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com reports.
Impact Early concerns about an ACL tear have given way to a more optimistic tone, although Rice has already been ruled out for Week 5 against the Saints and seems likely to miss additional time. He's still in the process of getting multiple doctors' opinions on the injury to figure out a recovery/rehab plan, which means he isn't totally out of the woods in terms of undergoing surgery and/or requiring a long-term absence. Mahomes mentioned WRs Justin Watson and JuJu Smith-Schuster and TE Noah Gray as candidates to take on larger roles while Rice is unavailable.

Noah Gray - Posts season-best line in Week 4 Gray reeled in all four of his targets for 40 yards during Sunday's 17-10 win versus the Chargers.
Impact Gray's four grabs and 40 yards were high-water marks for the season. He played 32 offensive snaps in the contest, which is about on par with his previous work. The fourth-year tight could claim a heavier share of the snap pie moving forward following star wideout Rashee Rice's knee injury Sunday. Outside of veteran tight end Travis Kelce and rookie Xavier Worthy, the Chiefs will need some pass-catching options to step up. Gray's 4-40 line from Sunday at least displays a pulse in what otherwise was a struggling group behind Kelce and Worthy. Per Adam Teicher of ESPN.com, head coach Andy Reid plans to spread the ball around more widely moving forward. That could mean more work for Gray.

Skyy Moore - Catchless day again Moore didn't record a reception (on two targets) during Sunday's 17-10 victory over the Chargers.
Impact Moore could see additional reps at wide receiver moving forward, with the team's two top expected weapons at the position, Hollywood Brown (shoulder) and Rashee Rice (knee), likely down for an extended period. However, Moore logged just 13 snaps following Rice's departure Sunday, so there may not be that much upside for the second-year wideout, even with a slightly clearer path to snaps. Xavier Worthy (45), Justin Watson (43) and JuJu Smith-Schuster (32) all played more snaps than Moore, and Noah Gray (32 snaps) may also see additional work if the team elects to run more two-tight end sets moving forward.

JuJu Smith-Schuster - Comes up empty versus Chargers Smith-Schuster logged zero targets during Sunday's 17-10 victory over the Chargers.
Impact On a positive note, Smith-Schuster tallied the third-most snaps (32) of any Chiefs wideout in Sunday's contest behind just Xavier Worthy (45) and Justin Watson (42). Still, it didn't result in any looks in the passing game. There is hope, however, as Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports that head coach Andy Reid intends to spread the ball around more with Rashee Rice (knee) likely down for a significant period, if not the remainder of the year. That said, a few added looks in the passing game don't necessarily equate to fantasy relevance in most formats.

Justin Watson - Minimal impact versus Chargers Watson hauled in two of three targets for 27 yards during Sunday's 17-10 win versus the Chargers.
Impact The Chiefs' carnage of injuries continued to pile up Saturday, adding Rashee Rice (knee) to the list. Thus, Watson could be in line for additional snaps moving forward; he logged the second-most snaps during Sunday's game behind Xavier Worthy. Per Adam Teicher of ESPN, head coach Andy Reid plans to spread the ball around more in the absence of Rice, meaning Watson could see a few more looks. Even if that's the case, Watson has been in similar positions in years past, so it remains to be seen if the veteran wideout can provide any significant fantasy value.
