Pacheco (fibula) has been designated to return from injured reserve by the Chiefs, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Pacheco, who was placed on IR on Sep. 18, is now available to resume practicing with the team. He is returning from a fractured fibula, and has been eying a late-November return, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. The running back's 21-day window will now extend to the end of the month, and it remains to be seen when Kansas City will officially activate him. Until then, Kareem Hunt figures to continue seeing the majority of touches in the Chiefs' backfield.

Pacheco (fibula) has been designated to return from injured reserve by the Chiefs, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Pacheco, who was placed on IR on Sep. 18, is now available to resume practicing with the team. He is returning from a fractured fibula, and has been eying a late-November return, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. The running back's 21-day window will now extend to the end of the month, and it remains to be seen when Kansas City will officially activate him. Until then, Kareem Hunt figures to continue seeing the majority of touches in the Chiefs' backfield.
Gray hauled in each of his two targets for 18 yards during Sunday's 16-14 win versus the Broncos. After a promising four-game stretch spanning from Weeks 4-8 that saw Gray post 13 catches for 158 yards, the fourth-year tight end has posted just two catches total over the past two games. Gray also saw a slight downturn in his playing time, logging just 39 snaps (57 percent) after crossing the 60-percent threshold in each of the last three games. Either way, Gray has yet to find pay dirt this season and is the clear No. 2 at tight end, so he's likely nothing more than a deep dynasty stash at this point.
Watson hauled in both of his targets for six yards during Sunday's 16-14 victory versus the Broncos. Watson remains a regular in the offensive game plan, logging a team-high 52 snaps at wide receiver. That said, he's not a significant target as a receiver, finishing with no more than three catches n a game this season. The veteran wideout should continue to see regular offensive snaps but doesn't serve much purpose from a fantasy perspective.
Steele tallied two carries for three yards during Sunday's 16-14 victory against the Broncos. Steele logged only 13 offensive snaps in the contest, still trailing Kareem Hunt (44) by a sizable margin and sitting three behind Samaje Perine as well. The rookie back has carried the ball a combined seven times over the last three weeks. With Isiah Pacheco's (lower leg) return from injured reserve on the horizon, there's little to like about Steele's fantasy prospects moving forward.
Perine didn't tally a carry but reeled in both of his targets for 37 yards during Sunday's 16-14 victory over the Broncos. While Perine saw limited action (16 snaps) on offense, he made a notable play, scampering for 35 yards on one of his two receptions in a drive that ended up with a field goal. Even so, he's hardly producing enough weekly to warrant a look in fantasy leagues, especially with Isiah Pacheco on the cusp of a return to the playing field. Once Pacheco returns, Perine would presumably drop to third on the depth chart behind Pacheco and Kareem Hunt, further diminishing his fantasy value.
Reid logged seven total tackles (three solo), including one tackle for loss, in Sunday's 16-14 win over the Broncos. Reid has now accumulated 50 total tackles and three passes defended, including one interception, through the Chiefs' first nine games this season. He's tied for the team lead in interceptions and ranks second in total tackles. Expect Reid to continue starting alongside Bryan Cook as part of the Chiefs' top safety duo in Week 11's matchup against the Bills.
Bolton recorded six total tackles (four solo), including 1.0 sacks, in Sunday's 16-14 win over the Chiefs. Bolton was one of six Chiefs to bring down Bo Nix in Sunday's win, recording his first sack of the season. The fourth-year pro is the Chiefs' leading tackler, having accumulated 62 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, and three passes defended through the team's first nine games. He's expected to remain a viable IDP option as the Chiefs travel to Buffalo in Week 11.
Johnson recorded 10 total tackles (six solo), including 1.0 sacks, in Sunday's 16-14 win over the Broncos. Johnson not only led the Chiefs in total tackles in Sunday's win, but he also doubled his previous career high for tackles in a single game (five). The Marshall product tallied the first sack of his young career as well, bringing down Bo Nix for a 17-yard loss in the first quarter. Expect Johnson to continue starting opposite Trent McDuffie as one of the Chiefs' top outside cornerbacks, especially after Sunday's performance.
