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
Back to practice squad
Ross reverted to Kansas City's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
ANALYSIS
Ross was elevated to the Chiefs' active roster for a second straight game Sunday due to JuJu Smith-Schuster being sidelined with a hamstring injury. Ross played seven of the Chiefs' 68 offensive snaps Sunday but failed to haul in his lone target. If the Chiefs elevate Ross from the practice squad again, they'll subsequently have to sign him to the active roster in order for him to play for the team again in 2024.

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.
