Kadarius Toney Fantasy Football Update 2024: Transition to Running Back with Chiefs?
Kadarius Toney is shaking things up in fantasy football for 2024 by potentially transitioning to running back in early Chiefs training camp.

Coach Andy Reid is upbeat about Toney’s performance, highlighting how he could make a big impact if he keeps impressing in this dual role.

Fantasy gamers should closely monitor Toney’s progress as draft day approaches. If he stays healthy and thrives in his expanded role, he could become a sleeper pick with lots of potential in the Chiefs’ high-energy offense.

There was a lot of buzz coming out of Chiefs training camp and the pre-season, touting Toney as the clear Chiefs #1 wide receiver headed into 2023, an injury riddled season fizzled that hope. In 13 games with the Chiefs in 2023, Toney finished with 27 receptions for 169 yards and 1 touchdown. The Chiefs will be looking to either trade or cut Toney this offseason. It is looking more and more like Kadarius Toney has taken his last NFL snap, unless there is a team desperate enough at wide receiver willing to take a shot on this high risk investment.

Isiah Pacheco, who missed the whole week of practice, as expected will play. Pacheco was dominant in the Divisional Round against the Bills, averaging 6.5 yards per carry which led to 97 yards and touchdown on the ground.
