Kansas City answered a rocky start with a decisive SNF win, led by Mahomes’ efficient night, Kelce’s space-age routes, and Brown's red-zone impact. Pacheco pushed through heavy traffic while the defense locked in after Detroit’s early clock control. Omenihu and Chenal helped tip the scales, and Jones battled through an injury to influence the late pressure. Butker’s miss looms as a caveat in a game that otherwise reinforced KC’s high-ceiling offense.

Fantasy takeaway: Mahomes remains a top-floor passer with a versatile receiving corps, Kelce and Brown delivering steady weekly value, and Pacheco nudging into reliable RB2 territory thanks to workload and goal-line chances. KC’s kicking volatility adds a small wrinkle for fantasy managers in tight games against strong defenses.

Kansas City’s Xavier Worthy is active for Week 6 against Detroit, with no injury designation. He’s already posted 17 targets across his first two games back, boosting the Chiefs’ aerial threat and earning fringe WR1/WR2 consideration in a favorable matchup with the Lions.

Across fantasy rosters, Week 6 injury chatter includes 49ers receivers stepping into clearer roles as Pearsall misses practice and Jennings returns, plus Mac Jones stepping in for Purdy in Tampa. Mooney’s status could tilt London, Pitts and Bijan in Atlanta, while Godwin’s Week 6 status shapes Tampa’s passing game.
