Trey Smith’s knee and an illness have Kansas City’s top blocker juggling Week 2 against Philadelphia. Uncertainty on practice participation could force the Chiefs into using depth pieces at guard, testing how well Jaylon Moore or Wanya Morris can anchor protection and sustain the run game. If Smith can’t practice fully, KC’s interior line may tilt toward rotation, altering Mahomes’ pocket dynamics and the Chiefs’ game plan in a pivotal rematch.

Depth behind Smith and how quickly he progresses will shape fantasy relevance, especially for Chiefs’ ball carriers and pass-catchers facing a stout Eagles front. Fantasy managers should monitor practice reports and depth-chart shifts, as even marginal changes in guard play can swing scoring opportunities in a high-stakes Week 2 showdown.
