Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2021
A former fifth-round pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, Powell has appeared in just three games so far in his career. In the three games he played in last season, the 25-year-old wideout played a total of three offensive snaps and failed to earn a target. Buried on the depth chart and bouncing between the team's practice squad and active roster, Powell has an uphill battle to a secure and consistent roster spot ahead of the 2023 campaign.
Powell's entry as a fifth-round pick in the 2021 NFL Draft figured to position him to keep a spot on the 53-man roster, but he didn't survive the Chiefs' initial cut-downs in late August.
