Kansas City Chiefs
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Danna has emerged as a consistent contributor since joining the Chiefs as a 2020 fifth-round pick, having started 35 of his last 36 appearances. Calf and pectoral injuries forced him to sit out four regular-season games in 2024, which contributed to his recording only 3.5 sacks compared to 6.5 in 2023. While Danna isn't likely to emerge as a consistent fantasy contributor in IDP formats, he's secure as a key member of Kansas City's pass rush. Read Past Outlooks

October 2, 2025
Danna (quadriceps) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.
ANALYSIS
Danna missed the Chiefs' last two games due to a quadriceps injury that he sustained in Week 2 against the Eagles. He was able to practice without restrictions Thursday, and the 2020 fifth-rounder is trending towards making his return against the Jaguars on Monday. Danna's return would likely lead to a drop in snaps at defensive end for Malik Herring and rookie third-rounder Ashton Gillotte.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
2021
Danna produced his most impactful professional season last year, racking up career-best marks of 6.5 sacks and 50 tackles (32 solo). He also graded out as the team's best run defender and tackler along the defensive line per PFF. The Chiefs rewarded him this offseason with a three-year, $24 million pact, keeping the starting front four intact for a Chiefs defense that amassed the second-most sacks (57) in the league behind the Ravens in 2023.
Danna appeared in 13 games during the 2022 season and recorded 27 total tackles, five sacks and two forced fumbles. The 25-year-old defensive end should continue his role as a key depth piece for the Chiefs' defensive front.
Danna carved out a depth role on the Chiefs' defensive line as a rookie, tallying 25 tackles (16 solo) and 2.5 sacks. If he can take a step forward ahead of 2021, the second-year defensive lineman could be in line for a larger role.
