Kansas City Chiefs
2024 Fantasy Outlook
While Ross hung around with the Chiefs during the 2023 season, he didn't carve out a significant role on offense, finishing the year with just six grabs for 53 yards on 11 targets. Kansas City's front office upgraded the position this offseason, acquiring Marquise Brown through free agency and Xavier Worthy in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft. The pickups sink returning wideouts Ross, Skyy Moore, Justin Watson and Kadarius Toney on the depth chart. That said, Richie James returned to the free agent market this offseason, and Rashee Rice likely faces a suspension to open the year, so Ross still has a path to a roster spot. Read Past Outlooks

Elevated for Monday night
WRKansas City Chiefs
November 4, 2024
Ross was elevated to the Chiefs' active roster Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
ANALYSIS
The Clemson product's elevation Monday provides depth in Kansas City's wide receiver room, with JuJu Smith-Schuster in line to miss his second consecutive game in Week 9's matchup against Tampa Bay. Ross appeared in 10 regular-season games with the Chiefs in 2023, catching six of his 11 targets for 53 yards. He's expected to serve as a depth piece in Monday night's contest, likely seeing minimal offensive work.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
Ross signed with the Chiefs last spring as an undrafted free agent, but spent his entire rookie campaign in rehab mode after undergoing surgery to repair a nagging foot injury. Now that the 23-year-old has had time to move past the issue, Ross appears poised to compete for a role in a Kansas City wideout corps that also includes Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Kadarius Toney, Rashee Rice, Skyy Moore, Richie James and Justin Watson. At 6-foot-4 and 210 pounds, Ross brings good size to the mix, but the Clemson product will need to prove his health in the coming months in order to secure a roster spot ahead of the 2023 season.
Ross, who once was considered a candidate to be an early-round draft choice, was diagnosed with a congenital fusion in his spine in the spring of 2020 -- which led to him missing a season -- and was then limited last year by a stress fracture in his foot. With Kansas City, the 6-foot-4, 205-pound UDFA will look to secure a spot in a re-tooled wideout corps currently led by JuJu Smith-Schuster, Mecole Hardman, Marquez Valdes-Scantling and 2022 second-rounder Skyy Moore.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
May not return in 2023
WRKansas City Chiefs
October 28, 2023
Ross, who was placed on the NFL commissioner's exempt list Friday, could be forced to sit for the rest of the 2023 season for as long as he is dealing with his legal situation, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Head coach Andy Reid admitted Friday that he wasn't sure if Ross would be able to return this season, telling reporters that the team will "let it play out the way it goes." Ross was placed on the exempt list Friday following his arrest Monday for two charges of domestic battery and criminal property damage and will be unable to play or practice with the team for as long as he remains on the list.
