Chiefs WR JuJu Smith-Schuster (hamstring) practiced all week, including full workouts on Thursday and Friday, and isn’t listed on the final injury report. He’ll be back for this weekend’s game vs. the Bills and figures to slide back in as Kansas City’s primary slot receiver. Buffalo ranks 13th in adjusted fantasy points allowed to WRs but 28th against slot receivers.

Chiefs HC Andy Reid said Wednesday that there's a "good chance" WR JuJu Smith-Schuster (hamstring) plays vs. the Bills this weekend. Smith-Schuster exploded for a 7-130-0 line in Week 5 and promptly hurt his hamstring, missing the past three games. He returns to a WR corps that's since added DeAndre Hopkins. We're expecting JuJu to step back in as Kansas City's primary slot receiver between Hopkins and Xavier Worthy, but he'll likely be the No. 3 target behind Hopkins and TE Travis Kelce.
