QUARTERBACKS

PlayerAtt.Comp.YardsTDINTRushYardsTDPoints
Kyler Murray553.8373.84098.126.3111.9191.4502.75.26327.17
Colt McCoy41.727.5300.21.460.839.917.30.118.52

Kyler Murray: Early offseason drama led to Murray scrubbing his social media accounts of references to the Cardinals, but the dual-threat quarterback has a new contract and QB1 overall upside, when healthy. Even though he'll be without DeAndre Hopkins to start the season, the additions of Marquise Brown, his former Oklahoma teammate, and Trey McBride, the first tight end drafted in 2022, give Murray a talented group of pass catchers when the team's at full strength.

RUNNING BACKS

PlayerAtt.YardsTDRec.YardsTDPoints
James Conner234.6973.68.5638.3281.51.8206.82

Keaontay Ingram10.945.80.267.857.20.317.56

James Conner: Conner scored 18 regular-season touchdowns with multiple scores in six of 15 games last season as he finished 2021 as a top-five fantasy running back. With Chase Edmonds now in Miami, Conner enters 2022 as Arizona's clear lead back.

WIDE RECEIVERS

PlayerRec.YardsTDRushYardsTDPoints
Marquise Brown739615.71.58.60.06168.02
DeAndre Hopkins59716.94.8000129.99
Rondale Moore54.4653.1419.891.10.69129.76

Antoine Wesley4.2550.30009.4
Andy Isabella1.824.20.20004.52
Greg Dortch0.88.80.10001.88

Marquise Brown: Brown had a minimum of five targets and three receptions in every game last season with the Ravens as he posted his first-ever 1,000-yard campaign (91/1,008/6). With Baltimore trading him to Arizona, Brown is reunited with his former college quarterback and should be able to rebuild rapport early. The fourth-year receiver should be Arizona's WR1 for at least the first six games with DeAndre Hopkins suspended.

DeAndre Hopkins: Missing seven games in 2021, Hopkins set career lows in targets (64), receptions (42) and yards (572) as he averaged a non-rookie career low of 57.2 yards per game. A six-game suspension to begin the year limits Hopkins' ability to rebound strongly from last year's disappointing numbers.

TIGHT ENDS

Trey McBride22.7241.91.700045.74
Maxx Williams10.8114.40.700021.04

Zach Ertz: Targeted nine-plus times in the final four weeks of the season, Ertz finished that span with 28 catches for 253 yards on 43 targets. While those games overlapped with games that DeAndre Hopkins missed, Ertz should be heavily targeted during Hopkins' suspension to begin the season.

Fantasy Football Projections 2021: Kansas City Chiefs

Our 2021 Fantasy Football Projections will be viewable by both position and team.

Below you will find our 2021 fantasy football projections for the Kansas City Chiefs.

MORE: Fantasy football projections for more NFL teams

QUARTERBACKS

PlayerAtt.Comp.YardsTDINTRushYardsTDPoints
Patrick Mahomes612.9405.44933.839.537.6664.1310.92.72387.56
Chad Henne35.725242.81.750.716.27.10.0616.36

Patrick Mahomes: Mahomes is my top-ranked fantasy quarterback given the combination of elite skill set, supporting cast and coaching. The only real decision for fantasy managers is whether or not to invest the early draft capital necessary to secure Mahomes (or another high-end quarterback) as their starter. Leading the NFL with 316.0 passing yards per game, Mahomes was only a 260/2 game away from a second 5,000/40 season before the Chiefs rested him in Week 17.

RUNNING BACKS

Jerick McKinnon34.1143.20.8514.2116.5144.17
Michael Burton2.15.70.043.223.30.15.34

Clyde Edwards-Helaire: Given how productive a third-round rookie (Kareem Hunt) had been in Andy Reid's offense just a few seasons ago (2017), Edwards-Helaire, the only first-round running back in the 2020 NFL Draft, was a relative disappointment despite a couple of big performances in the first half of last season. Even so, he has the skill set and draft pedigree to be much more productive in Kansas City's high-powered offense this season than he was as a rookie and could turn out to be a draft-day bargain.

Darrel Williams: Williams is a high-upside handcuff for Clyde Edwards-Helaire. If CEH were to miss any time, Williams would immediately become an RB2 in Kansas City's high-powered offense.

WIDE RECEIVERS

Daurice Fountain2.431.10.20005.51
Jody Fortson1.515.50.10002.9

Tyreek Hill: Few players at any position have as much upside as Hill to erupt for a massive performance in any given week. Setting a career high in touchdowns (17), Hill had 87 receptions for 1,276 yards and 13 carries for 123 yards in 2020.

Mecole Hardman: Many fantasy managers expected Hardman to take a step forward in his sophomore campaign, but his year-over-year production was nearly identical -- 26/538/6 (20.7 Y/R) in 2019 and 41/560/4 (13.7 Y/R) in 2020. With Sammy Watkins now in Baltimore and no significant additions to the receiving corps, Hardman offers upside at his late-round ADP.

Demarcus Robinson: Given that Hardman has yet to deliver for fantasy managers, it wouldn't be the worst idea to throw a dart at Robinson or Byron Pringle with the last pick in your fantasy draft.

Blake Bell11124.20.900023.32
Noah Gray5.662.10.400011.41

Travis Kelce: Tampa Bay's Rob Gronkowski finished as fantasy's TE8 (126.8) last season and Kelce (260.26, TE1) was so good in 2020 that he actually doubled Gronk up.

Kelce extended his 1,000-yard streak to five seasons and broke the single-season receiving yardage record (1,416) for tight ends in the process. In fact, he set career highs across the board (105/1,416/11) in his age-31 campaign. Kelce ended the regular season with eight consecutive games with at least seven catches.

Regardless of how you slice it, Kelce is not only the slam-dunk TE1 heading into 2021, but he's worth considering towards the end of Round 1.

QUARTERBACKS


PlayerAtt.Comp.YardsTDINTRushYardsTDPoints
Patrick Mahomes547.2363.94569.132.569.349.6213.31.74326.17
Regression from his statistically-historic 2018 campaign (5,097/50) was expected and a midseason knee injury also slowed the 2018 league MVP. On a team loaded with speed and talented weapons, Mahomes should bounce back in a big way in 2020.
Chad Henne34.922247.81.310.874110.0814.99

RUNNING BACKS


PlayerAtt.YardsTDRec.YardsTDPoints
Clyde Edwards-Helaire199.3896.97.4755.74543.48200.79
Perhaps a bit of a surprise for some as the first running back off the board, Edwards-Helaire has drawn comparisons to (a better version of) Brian Westbrook (by head coach Andy Reid) and lands in an ideal long-term spot for his fantasy value. With Damien Williams opting out of the 2020 season, it boosts CEH's short-term (i.e., 2020) outlook and catapults him into the (upper?) RB1 range. It wasn't that long ago that fantasy owners saw what a prominently-featured rookie running back (Kareem Hunt, RB3, 2017) could do in an Reid-led offense.
Darrel Williams89.2370.24.4618.4154.60.9284.76
While the Chiefs will give Edwards-Helaire all he can handle, Williams enters the season as the team's No. 2 back and offers some sleeper appeal. While injuries are a huge part of the game (and especially at running back), but the COVID-19 pandemic will potentially create even more opportunities for backup running backs than usual and we've seen waiver-wire backs thrive in spot duty in this offense.
Darwin Thompson36.7143.10.9211.784.20.3530.35

WIDE RECEIVERS


PlayerRec.YardsTDRushYardsTDPoints
Tyreek Hill76.71142.89.597.9490.4179.12
Not only did an early-season injury sideline him for four games, but he was only the WR9 on a per-game basis after he returned in Week 6 through the end of the season. With good health from both Hill and Patrick Mahomes, however, he has as much weekly upside as any receiver in the league.
Mecole Hardman48.5715.46.06522.50.15111.05
With 4.33 speed, Hardman has the ability to turn any touch into a big play. Targeted only 2.56 times per game as a rookie, Hardman averaged 20.7 yards per catch and took six of his 26 receptions to the house. Set for an expanded offensive role in his second season, Hardman is one of my favorite best-ball targets in 2020.
Sammy Watkins48640.83.24213.60.0685.24
Watkins was amazing in Week 1 (9/198/3) and productive in the playoffs (14/288/1 in three games), but below-average (to be kind) in between. In 13 games from Weeks 2 to 17, Watkins had a 43/475 receiving line with no touchdowns and performed as fantasy's WR74 during that non-Week 1 stretch. Not only has Watkins missed multiple games in four of the past five years, but it's possible, perhaps likely, that second-year receiver Mecole Hardman leapfrogs him on the targets pecking order.
Demarcus Robinson19.7258.11.9700037.63
Byron Pringle7.5960.6400013.44
Marcus Kemp0.89.10.060001.27

TIGHT ENDS


PlayerRec.YardsTDRushYardsTDPoints
Travis Kelce85.21090.66.18000146.14
Kelce has finished as either the TE1 (2016, 2018 and 2019) or TE2 (2017) in each of the past four seasons. During that span, Kelce has averaged a line of 92/1,182/7. The only drawback on using a second-round pick on Kelce (or George Kittle) is the potential impact to overall roster construction as there are several appealing tight end targets in the mid-to-late rounds.
