Fantasy Impact: Pacheco has been limited in practice this week and will not be activated from injured reserve. Kareem Hunt will continue to serve as the primary running back against the Panthers.
Harrison Butker underwent successful surgery on Friday. (Source: Harrison Butker on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: Butker was placed on injured reserve and will miss at least the next four games for the Chiefs.
JuJu Smith-Schuster (hamstring) was a limited participant at practice on Wednesday. (Source: Kansas City Chiefs)
Fantasy Impact: Smith-Schuster seems to be nearing a return from his hamstring injury. He was able to log a limited practice session on Wednesday, which puts him on track to play in Week 11, assuming all goes well with his recovery. He isn't likely to have much fantasy value with DeAndre Hopkins now in the lineup for Kansas City.

The Chiefs are planning to activate Charles Omenihu from injured reserve this week. (Source: Jordan Schultz on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: Omenihu opened the season on the PUP list as he was working his way back from a torn ACL. Both he and Isiah Pacheco are expected to be designated to return to a 9-0 Chiefs team.
Tershawn Wharton remained absent from practice on Thursday. (Source: Matt McMullen on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: Wharton opened the week missing back-to-back practices. His status will be worth monitoring at practice on Friday.
Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes II (ankle) will be a full participant in practice, per head coach Andy Reid. (Source: Adam Teicher on Twitter )
Fantasy Impact: Mahomes suffered a left ankle injury early in the fourth quarter Monday night. Mahomes did not miss any time during the game and it appears that he will not face any issues heading into Week 10.
Chiefs WR Mecole Hardman is listed as questionable to return with a shoulder injury. (Source: Chiefs on Twitter )
Fantasy Impact: It is unclear when Hardman suffered the shoulder injury, but it is possible that it was on his lone punt return. The Chiefs should provide more information on the severity of the injury and his game status soon.
Chiefs RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire will not play in Monday night's matchup vs. the Buccaneers as he was listed among the inactives. (Source: Kansas City Chiefs on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: The team will roll with RBs Kareem Hunt, Samaje Perine and Carson Steele once more as Edwards-Helaire sits this one out.
The Chiefs have placed TE Jared Wiley (knee) on injured reserve. (Source: Chiefs on Twitter )
Fantasy Impact: Wiley suffered a torn ACL in practice Friday that will officially end his season. The team has signed TE Peyton Hendershot off their practice squad to take his place on the roster.
Kareem Hunt (quad) was listed as a limited participant in Kansas City's practice on Thursday. (Source: Tampa Bay Buccaneers)
Fantasy Impact: A quad injury left Hunt limited at Kansas City's first practice of the week on Thursday. They play on Monday night, so chances are good that he will be fully healthy in time for that game. Fantasy managers should feel pretty good about starting him this week, assuming he's fully cleared to play prior to game time.
The Chiefs placed Jody Fortson Jr. on injured reserve.
Fantasy Impact: Fortson left Sunday's game early against the Raiders. He will be sidelined for at least the next four games.
Nick Bolton suffered a rib injury during Sunday's game against the Raiders.
Fantasy Impact: Bolton suffered the injury on a tackle. His status will be worth monitoring at practice this upcoming week.
Nazeeh Johnson suffered an apparent injury to his head on Sunday.
Fantasy Impact: Johnson suffered the injury when he tackled Brock Bowers. His status will be worth monitoring throughout the upcoming week.
Skyy Moore (core) has been placed on injured reserve, knocking him out for at least the next four games. (Source: Adam Schefter on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: Moore is managing a core-muscle injury of some kind and has been placed on injured reserve. He will be out for the next four weeks at the very least, and his absence could very well extend beyond that. He hasn't been a big factor in Kansas City's offense, so this shouldn't have much of an impact for fantasy purposes.
Jaylen Watson reportedly could miss the rest of the season after suffering a fractured ankle in Sunday's win over the 49ers. (Source: Jeremy Fowler on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: Watson is set to undergo surgery for the injury. It is possible he can return late in the playoffs barring any setbacks.
Rashee Rice (knee) underwent surgery and will miss the remainder of the season according to Jordan Schultz. (Source: Jordan Schultz on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: Rice had his LCL and hamstring repaired during the procedure while also avoiding any damage to his meniscus or ACL. The talented wideout should return fully in time for the 2025 season.
Marquise Brown (shoulder) is not expected to return at any point in the 2024 regular season. (Source: Adam Schefter on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: Brown recently underwent surgery for a shoulder injury that he suffered earlier this offseason. The team placed him on injured reserve as he recovers, and now, it is being reported that he is not expected to return at any point during the 2024 regular season. This is a tough blow for Kansas City's offense, but it locks in Rashee Rice as a quality WR2 for the rest of the season and presents rookie Xavier Worthy with an opportunity to break out and see a lot of work over the course of the season.
Joe Thuney (pectoral) practiced fully with the Kansas City Chiefs Monday according to Tom Pelissero. (Source: Tom Pelissero on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: Thuney’s practice session activity has the offensive lineman trending in the right direction, and barring a setback will return to his starting guard spot in Kansas City’s season opener against the Baltimore Ravens Thursday.
Chris Jones (shoulder) logged a full practice with the Kansas City Chiefs Monday. (Source: Tom Pelissero on Twitter )
Fantasy Impact: Jones continues to trend in the right direction and barring any setbacks, is primed to return to the starting defensive line ahead of Kansas City’s season opener against the Baltimore Ravens Thursday.
Chiefs LB BJ Thompson will begin the season on the non-football illness list. (Source: Tom Pelissero on Twitter )
Fantasy Impact: Thompson suffered a seizure and went into cardiac arrest during a meeting in June, causing him to be hospitalized. He is ineligible to play in the first four games of the season, but the Chiefs are optimistic that he will play this year.
