The Chiefs are dealing with a ton of injuries in their wide receiver room. This is huge news for fantasy football managers looking for Week 11 sleepers at receiver with so many big names on a bye.
Kadarius Toney was targeted on 50 percent of his routes in the second half of Week 10. His snap rate was pretty static, 42% in the first half and 48% in the second. He was just much more involved after
JuJu Smith-Schuster left the game. That’s great news for Toney’s prospects in Week 11. The fact that
Mecole Hardman is now on IR is a bigger and more long-term needle-mover.
Toney is still not there as a technician but the Chiefs seem ready and willing to work around that. He averaged just 7.0 air yards per target but earned 7.8 yards after the catch per reception. That’s what you need to do with Toney; get him out in space and let him cook.
It’s not hyperbole to say Toney has a truly rare ability to win in the open field.
