2024 Fantasy Outlook
With Travis Kelce likely in the twilight years of his career, the Chiefs selected Wiley in the fourth round of the 2024 NFL Draft, likely to bolster their future options at tight end. Noah Gray, a fifth-round pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, has served in the top backup role the past couple of seasons, but his rookie deal expires after the 2024 season, and it's unclear if the team wants to invest in him long-term. Wiley turned in 47 grabs for 520 yards and eight touchdowns last year with TCU but is likely positioned for a depth role with Kansas City in 2024, aiming to contribute down the road.

Placed on IR
The Chiefs placed Wiley (knee) on injured reserve Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Wiley suffered a season-ending torn ACL during Friday's practice. The rookie fourth-round pick will shift his attention toward being healthy for the 2025 season. The Chiefs signed Peyton Hendershot from the practice squad to the active roster in a corresponding move.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Impressed Mahomes in OTAs
Wiley stood out in spring practices and impressed Patrick Mahomes with his mix of athleticism and playmaking ability, per Nate Taylor of The Athletic. "The more he gets down the field, he can really make those tough, contested catches," Mahomes said of Wiley. "I want him to play even more physical. I know it's hard in OTAs. You can't really bump, but I think he can make those tough catches in the middle of the field. He's faster than people think he is."
ANALYSIS
Wiley has a chance to supplant Noah Gray as the top backup to Travis Kelce in 2024. The 6-foot-6, 249-pound tight end was drafted by the Chiefs in the fourth round of the 2024 NFL Draft out of TCU.
