Josh Simmons illness kept him limited in practice as KC prepared for Week 3 against the New York Giants; status could go either way, with the Chiefs hopeful he plays. If he can’t go, Wanya Morris or Jaylon Moore would slide in at left tackle, testing KC’s protection and potentially shifting the run-pass balance.

Fantasy managers should monitor updates, as LT stability can swing Mahomes’ timing, the play-action game, and Isiah Pacheco’s rushing lanes in a pivotal matchup.

Jalen Royals is listed with knee tendinitis and has missed the first two Chiefs games, with a Wednesday limited practice keeping his Week 3 status uncertain against the Giants. If he’s sidelined, Kansas City’s WR corps gets a clearer path to targets.

In that scenario, Hollywood Brown and JuJu Smith-Schuster become the primary options, while Tyquan Thornton and Nikko Remigio could soak up additional routes and snaps. Fantasy managers should monitor practice updates closely and anticipate increased volume for the Chiefs’ top veterans in a challenging Week 3 matchup.
