Xavier Worthy’s Week 1 shoulder dislocation could silence KC’s top-4 pass-game options in Week 2. If Worthy sits, Marquise Brown and JuJu Smith-Schuster become target anchors with Tyquan Thornton, Nikko Remigio, and Jason Brownlee mixing in behind them. The Chiefs face a Philly defense in a high-stakes rematch, making practice Week 2 status critical for fantasy managers clocking in DFS and weekly lineups.

Worthy’s timeline remains cloudy despite no surgery, keeping Kansas City’s aerial attack in flux. Kelce remains a constant, but a Worthy absence could push more volume toward Brown and JuJu, while the deeper group—Thornton, Remigio, Brownlee—gives managers a reason to monitor snap counts and price tags. Expect a competitive game that could hinge on who steps up behind Kelce and Brown.

Marquise Brown’s ankle issue headlines KC’s Week 2 prep versus Philadelphia. Brown led KC in Week 1 and remains on the injury report, but Wednesday practice suggests he could suit up. If he plays, expect heavy involvement; if not, the Chiefs turn to veterans and split tempo with the emerging depth.

Should Brown be limited, JuJu Smith-Schuster, Tyquan Thornton, Nikko Remigio, and Jason Brownlee become a bigger factor, reshaping KC’s target distribution and fantasy upside in a tricky Week 2 matchup against Philadelphia. Monitor late-week updates for clarity on Brown’s playing status and role.

KC faces Week 2 with Mahomes carrying more load as Rashee Rice sits six games. Worthy draws opportunity, with Hollywood Brown looming as the top target during Rice’s suspension. If the line stabilizes, Mahomes can push deeper shots and screen-game early, raising Brown and Worthy into solid fantasy flex play while Rice is out.

The Chiefs’ Week 2 matchup vs LA and a late-season possibility of Rice, Worthy and Brown on the field together in Week 7 adds intrigue. Special-teams heroics and a retooled front suggest KC can win close games even when the pass catchers shift, keeping Mahomes’ fantasy value buoyant despite the early disruption.
