Toney is questionable with a toe injury. I’m guessing he’ll be active because A) he’s always dealing with some sort of injury, and B) Richie James was just placed on injured reserver, so the Chiefs will probably want Toney active for some added WR depth.

Toney is usually limited to about 30% of Patrick Mahomes’ dropbacks, and that could be even lower today.

After his drop-filled Week 1, Toney’s average depth of target in Week 2 was one yard behind the line of scrimmage. He’s essentially a glorified pass-catching RB who needs to get most of his yards after the catch.

Last week, TE Travis Kelce’s playing time was limited. Assuming he sees a normal workload in Week 3, a player like Toney’s target share will be cut into.

I’m projecting this closer to 22.5, but Toney has a very low floor today.
